[QUOTE="Jamie-Jamie, post: 1021302, member: 145611"] What software? I wasn't aware that extra software had to be installed to use an external hard disk. You plug it in and format it. You'll need to make multiple partitions, all of them FAT32, since Mac OS X I think will only read NTFS and Microsoft refuses to allow Windows to read/write anything that isn't FAT32 or NTFS. But then, maybe the drive is dead? :( [/QUOTE]
