Katch Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I know this is a little off topic but being the only Mac forum I frequent I thought I'd ask you your advice. Situation; I had an emense music collection that I copied from my computer via USB Hdd to my girlfriends Mac. Then, my original Hdd died on me and no data could be recovered I am trying to get the collection back off her Mac onto my PC. Problem, my PC will not reckcognise the Mac file system; the mac will not write to an NTFS file system. If I format the Hdd in Fat32 both platforms can read and write but my music collection contains long file names that Fat32 cannot handle which halts the copy from the Mac to the USB Hdd. Can anyone think of a way I can get my music collection back on my PC? Is there anyway to make Windose XP read the Mac filesystem? Would Linux do it (I have some live CDs)?
