I believe you have to format the drive in FAT32 for it to be available to both machines. On the PC it will appear as a regular drive and on the Mac it should appear on the desktop as a PC drive.
It will have to be formatted via the XP machine
Try mounting it on both systems before you commit real data to it

Hello, I just bought the Lacie d2 hard drive extreme and i want to format it so it can be used in both windows and mac. I've got the PowerBook G4 15" 1.67 GHz
and the windows one is running windows xp. I'm confused on how to format it though in the user's manual it seems so easy..
Does anyone know?????? please if so, reply to me with details as i'm a begginer in these things.
Thanks a lot,
Scrat!
