[QUOTE="ed724, post: 80350, member: 9265"] Copy the external drive to a pc drive. Then install Macdrive 6 on the wintel machine and reformat the external using OSX. Then copy all your stuff back to the external. MacDrive 6 will allow wintel boxes to read and write to Mac OS drives. Not sure why your mac can't see the NTFS partition though. I used an external firewire/USB for quite a while as an NTFS partition and I could read it with the G3ibook. I like using Macdrive 6 better though, I preferr to keep my portable drive MacOS native. ed724 [/QUOTE]
