    I use a Western Digital MyBook with my Time Machine and it works fine. Well actually I have a problem transferring files from my pc to the external HD that are over 700mb. No such problem with the macbook pro.

    I use a Western Digital 500gb and no problems with it on the MAC.

    However, when I plugged it into the PC.....no Joy, eventually discovered it was due to the fact that I initially plugged it into the MAC and formated it but not FAT32.

    So had to repartition it on the MAC to take FAT32 to make it useable with my PC.

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.
