Mobile Hard Drive
Note: On NTFS formatted hard drives can only be written under
Windows XP / Vista / 7. Under MacOSX data can only be read.
The example above is a good solution for Windows XP / Vista / 7 users who
sometimes exchange data with Macs.
For storing the data under Windows XP / Vista / 7 both partitions can be used. As
the NTFS file system can only be read by Mac data to be used on these operating
systems must be stored on the FAT32 partition.
Please follow the steps below to adapt the Mobile Hard Drive for your needs.
