Hello,
Im trying to transfer music files from a friends harddrive to my own, but his harddrive is formatted to mac and mine is a pc. when I tried, no icon popped up, so I assigned it a drive number and reformatted it. It worked, but it erased all files. So, now I have the icon and brought it back to my friends house to put the music back on but he cant transfer files anymore(same problem I had with mine when I brought my own harddrive originally). He may have to format it back to his mac but will I be able to get the files off of it onto my computer? How do you transfer mac files to a pc? I really want this rather extensive music project but it would take weeks and hundreds of cds to just burn them all. Help!!!

Hello Sir,

This is quite normal,

To be able to use it on a mac computer you should format using the mac file system which won't work on the windows system

So you should use it only on a mac computer or Windows

Not the 2 at the same time

Thanks

There are other ways to do it. I'm trying to find out the answer to the same question. Once I do, I will post it here. Good luck until then.
