[QUOTE="eddleetham, post: 982663, member: 140519"] I have a Freecom Network Drive 500GB which I've used for backing up files on my old PC. I now want to use it with my new iMac. I found I could plug it into a USB port and use Time Machine, but that prevents me from using it on the network with other PCs. So I decided to resort manual backups from the Mac via the network connection, and reformatted it back to FAT32. I can now see the Freecom's files in Finder, but if I try and copy files from Mac to HDD I get an error message -16 and, although the file appears on the HDD it has zero bytes. Any idea what the problem might be? [/QUOTE]
