Does anyone know how to get my Mac to read the music (60 gig's) I loaded on my FreeAgent drive from a PC? I tried to plug in another drive and it ended up costing me $1,400 to recover all my wife's photo's. Thanks!!
The drive needs to be formatted correctly. If you launch Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities), select the drive and it will tell you how it is formatted.
Possible format choices include:
MS-DOS (FAT) - Windows/Mac can both read/write
NTFS - Windows can read/write, Mac can only read
Mac OS Extended (HFS+) - Only Mac can read/write
