[QUOTE="mknightretke, post: 1305837, member: 216466"] Heh, speaking of awful graphics, this Mini has an Intel GMA 950. I'm coming from a PC with a Radeon 5650, so this will be a bit of a dip for me. Fortunately, I don't do anything [I]too[/I] graphically intensive, so maybe it won't prove too crippling. Fingers crossed! I downloaded MacDrive to format my external and it said it needed be initialised first. I read the bit about [I]permanently erasing all files and folders on the drive[/I] and I'm fairly certain my heart skipped several beats. Is there any way around initialising? I have 200 GiB on this thing, and the computer I'm running MacDrive on only has an 80 GiB hard drive. Same for my Mini (once it arrives). I can't afford to lose all this data! [/QUOTE]
