HD external enclosure question ?

[Webb]

Hello

My trusted P4 1.5 Ghz finally died,would a HD external enclosure works to transfer a few files & pictures to my iBook G4 ?

Will the transfer be okay ? I'm not sure if it can read Windows partitions the way Linux can.

Thank you

Generally speaking that should work fine. Your Windows hard drive will either be formatted in FAT32 or NTFS, both of which the MacOS can read fine. The MacOS can't currently write to NTFS, but that won't be a problem in this case, since you can (I assume) reformat the drive once you've got what you want off of it.
