I stuck an unwanted but good 60GB IDE HD from my G4 Mac (that was running Tiger fine) in my PC (which runs Win 2000 but the idea is to run XP on this second 60GB drive) but it simply would not see it. Never even showed up in My Computer. Thank God in a way because I have not quite got a clue how to format it on a Winbox anyway, I was kind of hoping a message would come up and say "tis disk cannot be read, wanna format it? And I would then click a button that says Yes. But I dream ahead... I am thinking to rip open my FW external case (used as BU for my Mac), and yank out the 320GB job in there and temporarily stick in the 60GB and reformat it as FAT32 and then see if the PC will see it. What a fuss! Anyone got any better idea please? (I use a PC for only one thing and that is to see what websites look like on IE 6, 7 and now 8. I should get an Intel Mac, I know but there seems to be some horrible sticky stuff on my wallet and I just can't seem to yank it out of my back pocket no matter how hard I try... <g>) -- dorayme Hi there Why not stick it back in the Mac and format it there, there is an option to format as PC.
