So i had some data on this IDE HD in my g4 mac (60 gigs to be exact), and i installed it in my PC, i turned my PC on, opened disk management and mounted it, but i cant open it cuz its it mac format and not windows format.

So it asked me to format the thing into NTFS windows file system, but i didn't want to do that cuz id lose all my files so i put the IDE HD back in the mac but now it doesn't recognize it, like as if there was no secondary HD installed.

Im not so good in macs, maybe i have to select the HD in some kind of setup when the mac starts up? Or just tell me what to do, tytytytyty

Update: My bad i didn't connect the IDE cable to the HD( don't ask me how i forgot=P), so i started my mac and it gave me a message, "the HD u connected was not recognized" so i went into disk utilities and it says that my HD is Formatted with MS_DOS format!!?? but i never formatted it!!??
Now i cant access my files either on PC or on MAC =(
Have i lost my files? Does ani1 have any ideas? any help? =(
