Hi everyone. I apologize if this post doesn't make sense or isn't well organized. Let me know if you need clarification.
I recently built my own PC away from home. Now I'm back, but because I wanted my data with me, I took out my hard drives and brought them along.
However, I'm concerned that using the drives on my iMac (through the use of a SATA adapter like this or this - can't decide) might mess up Windows once I put them back in the PC, because Windows has proven to be very weird and finicky (that's why we all use macs, right?
). Should I be concerned about this? I know that Windows drives are readable by OSX, and that Apple formatted drives are not compatible with Windows, so I just want to get some clarification before I begin using them with my iMac.
