Remove any partitions on that drive and try NTFS next. Current Apples can read and write that.
If you need to get the files out, this forum at the top noted how to do that with a FREE bootable CD.

Hello,
So, I bought an external hard drive (iomega 500gb) and foolishly plugged it into a mac and formatted it and copied some files over to it. Now my pc (windows xp) isn't displaying it in My Computer although it does come up with safely remove hardware. It would be nice if it worked on both mac and pc, but it isn't essential. Do I need to reformat it... or throw it out of the window?
Thanks ![]()
