They tell me I need to reformat theexternal  disk if I want to backup MAC files so I am considering purchase of another external drive.  Can I use QUIKPROTECT on MAC or is TIMEMACHINE preferable either way does the type of external hard drive matter (format excepted?3) what is the best way to transfer all my current files from PC to MAC?Richard</blockquote>
