These are very important points so pay close attention. .This group is an Apple// group not a Mac group. The Apple// is a computer made by the same company but pre-dated and funded the Mac. They are two completely different machines. The groups you want have "mac" in the name not "apple". .The *ONLY* way your PC (the hardware) can read a hard drive you had connected to a Mac is if you have an identical plug for the drive on both machines. Likely a SCSI connector. If the hardware isn't available then you don't have a chance. Next is the way the hard drive is formatted... Windows XP will read *ONLY* FAT32 and NTFS. Your Mac is able to read and write to a FAT32 formatted disk but not NTFS. More likely the hard disk is formatted with HFS or HFS+, which is meant for the Mac. There may be programs available which will let Windows read Mac drives, but I don't know of any (check the Mac groups). If you decide to scrap Windows and replace it with a modern BSD or Linux, the format of the drive is no longer a problem. The software (at least with Linux) can be installed in two minutes. ....Later ....Mike --- . Synchronet .
