Thanks, David. The external one is a 30 gig which is more than I'll ever need for both OS systems. LOL The "new" Mac actually has two more platforms on which I can mount hard drives, I presume of any size, but I already have the external one & it will work on either Firewire or USB, so guess the G3 probably accommodates both, too. I have not had time to even play around with it yet. LOL Ginny
