[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1602689, member: 56379"] Two things: 1. What software/what installer were you trying to install? Generally speaking...most/many hard drives that come with software for backing up or whatever...is either not compatible with Mac's...or is not very good software (well written). So unless this software is a well-known app...I wouldn't bother with it.. And use something that we are more familiar with & recommend. 2. Large amounts of data. How large are we talking...and how many files? Personally when I'm transferring large amounts of data...I prefer "smaller chunks"...rather than a HUGE amount of data/lots & lots of files. I find if too much is done at once...this can cause "computer confusion". - Nick [/QUOTE]
