[QUOTE="baggss, post: 370485, member: 6762"] The Mac should recognize the drives fine and display them. Your problem will be that if they are in NTFS format, the Mac can read them but not write to them. If you want to continue to use them for both Windows and Mac you'll have to reformat them as FAT-32. If you want to use them just for Mac you can copy the data off them and reformat as HFS+ and then put the data back on them. [/QUOTE]
