[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1252632, member: 131855"] No that shouldn't be a problem at all. Macs can both read and write to FAT 32 drives. I would have hoped that it could be read on the VISTA machine and perhaps one of those utilities could correct the problem. If you are unable to get any Windows utilities to repair the problem it might be necessary to reformat the drive. Don't do that though unless you have a copy of the data elsewhere. BTW what kinds of files are these? Though that shouldn't cause the problem you are facing. Are any of the files larger than 4 GB? [/QUOTE]
