[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1812422, member: 204485"] Yes given the level of complexity I wouldn't try it. DILLIGAF, I think by far the easiest way would be to Use Boot Camp to partition the internal drive of your new Mac. You didn't mention which one you have but if it has 500Gb plus internal storage you could devote say 150Gb to a Windows partition and use your new external to store all that media you mentioned. It would make booting to and using Windows so much faster and efficient on your Mac. Just remember this is something that can be difficult to undo if you ever change your mind. You could even create a partition on the external (ie ExFat) for use with the Windows partition on your Mac. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
