Seagate 400GB USB/Firewire External Hard Drive on OSX
Hello:
My wife and I have decided to purchase a new Intel Imac as soon as Leopard is released. We took this decision because she hasn't used the Mac since OS7 and I have never used one. We want to be able to gain experience with the system before we have to perform an upgrade of the OS.
That being said, we recently purchased a Seagate 400GB external hard drive. When we set the drive up, it said that we should not attempt to use the drive on both OSX and WXP because data loss would occur. However, while we will no longer own a desktop pc, my wife's laptop is WXP and the drive needs to be able to be used on both systems (not at the same time). The drive is currently formated to NTFS. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
