[QUOTE="Sangs, post: 21535"] I'll be making the switch official when my PB 17-incher gets here next week, but I have a question about its compatibility with my Maxtor 5000 external drive. I saved a lot of files, photos, music, docs, etc., on the Maxtor when it was connected to my Windows PC. The drive is compatible with Mac, but what will happen when I connect it to my new PB? Will I be able to transfer these files to my PB, or will they be unreadable? I tried searching for the answer on the Maxtor site, but came up empty. My fear is that I'll have to format the drive so the PB can read it, thereby losing all my info. I still have my PC laptop (the desktop is gone), so I do something before trying to get my PB to connect with the drive? Any info and suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
