External Drive Question (MY BOOK)

[BayCal]

I've been using a mybook on a pc and have over 30 gigs in use...

IM ABOUT TO GET A MAC SOON...

how is it gonna work if i need to format my drive into a mac and still want to keep the files..

**i dont have enough space in my comp to temporarily put all those files while i reformat...

im not too fresh w/ this converting process so yeah..

thanks in advance...

the mac should be able to read it at least...
if it doesnt let you write then just copy it to the hard drive and format the drive and then throw the files back on..

btw i have a new mybook drive firewire 400/usb 2.0 320gb black for sale $80 brand new

Get 8 DVD's and start backing that stuff up on there... reformat the drive and do it from there.

You should be able to read and write with a Mac though

i had a western digital external hard drive that i used with a pc beforehand , and then switched it up to a macbook pro no problem... read and write.

let's say you need to use it on a pc and mac. read and write on both. (home pc with music, macbook laptop where im gonna use the music). I have a mybook too. Will it work?

i had to format my external HD to MS-DOS when i bought it new to write to it (im using a mac)....but im pretty sure youd be able to at least copy your shit to the mac HD then reformat if u even needed to format it.

So basically when I plug it into the macbook it should run without any problems??
