[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 95835, member: 5184"] Yes, that's mainly what Kokopelli means. And he is right, of course, I just didn't think far enough :o Over the network, the SMB protocoll tells Windows what to do with the files, and also the other way around. Because, physically (as in directly attached drive, internal or external), Windows wouldn't see the Mac's drive, as it doesn't know HFS+ (the Mac's file system) and the Mac could only read a NTFS disk. A disk that is read/writable on both system needs to be formatted in FAT32 (as you have done already). EDIT: Just read your SMB explanation, Kokopelli... quite interesting way to explain it... :cool: [/QUOTE]
