[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1748786, member: 46727"] If you can extract or copy the data off the drive using a Windows computer, that would be best. That particular drive came from the factory formatted to NTFS and unless you used a special driver on your Mac to write to it, it would not be possible. Macs can read a NTFS drive but not write to it without a special driver. Be careful with that drive when extracting or copying data using Windows. It might be a good idea to use "chkdsk" (Windows program) to check the drive for errors first. [/QUOTE]
