I own a pc, i have an external HDD formatted to NTFS that i gave to a friend to transfere music and .avi documentaries. he transferred them and now my pc can only see the HDD but not any files on it. The first time his mac formatted the drive and my pc could not even see the drive so he formatted it to fat32 and then i formatted it to NTFS and he transferred the files using MACFUSE. How can I view these files using my pc?? Any help appreciated. Gavin

You should format it. He needs to use fuse nfts3g or macfuse to apply files to that drive. There might be a widows driver to view hpfs file systems if they still use that. Otherwise both go to a common linux format maybe. See also http://www.macwindows.com/disks2.html http://www.macosxhints.com/article.... And such "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

You suggest i format the drive, but it was already formatted. And he already used Macfuse, but my pc does not see the files. Any other suggestions?
