    Just posted this in the Windows forum, Thought i myt find a little help here too

    Hey guys,

    Heres my situation, i recently bought an external HDD. I connected it to my vista machine and transferred around 300gb of stuff to it. After this i connected the HDD to my mac and copied another 40gb of Files to it. After i connected the drive bac to my vista machine the drive is no longer mounted. I can see it in Computer->Manage->Disk Management but the drive wont mount in explorer.

    The drive is formatted as Fat32 and can still be read by OSX but not in vista.

    BTW i cant format the drive until i get the data from it, and i cant copy the data to the mac because the HDD is only 160GB

    PLEASE PLEASE someone help me here. Some of these files are irreplacable and are not backed up yet(this was the first stage of my backup planmad.gif)
