[QUOTE="shfle, post: 715020, member: 42208"] Another solution would be to format the drive to Mac OS Extended and install MacDrive on your PC (Although it's not very cheap) which will enable your PC to read and write to a Mac formatted drive. [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000O39YGE/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]http://www.amazon.com/CSDC-MD70-E0WR-Macdrive-7/dp/B000O39YGE[/URL] It's up to you really but I believe that FAT is the slowest and least secure of the 3. Whichever way you go make sure you back the disk up first, as reformatting will wipe it clean. [/QUOTE]
