[QUOTE="fletch33, post: 673959, member: 32473"] if it were me i would go and get something like [URL="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8132807&st=passport&type=product&id=1158322069857"]this[/URL] or you can get a bigger or smaller size whatever suits you. i would then open that passport up and remove the drive. then put that drive into my mac which is very easy to do and place my mac's drive into the passport shell. you can also just buy a hard drive and an external case but this gives you both at a cheaper price :) then install your OS on your new HDD on your mac and when you all set up try your best to use software or whatever to get your info off the old drive by connecting to your mac. if that doesnt work i would connect it to a pc and see if you cant get a pc to recognize your data and retrieve it or try some pc software to do it. i have had several experiences like this where a pc would see it and a mac wouldn't and vice versa. good luck [/QUOTE]
