I have a MyBook Essentials in which I have most of the files from my PC, (Windows XP) backed up. I have just purchased a MacBook and would like to know if there is a way to transfer those files into my new Mac.
Unless ytou formatted the drive FAT32 MAC read but will not be able to write them. There may be conversion software. I don’t know much about MACs, check this http://community.wdc.com/t5/External-Drives-for-Mac/WD-drive-as-a-back-up-for-Windows-7-and-MAC-OS-locked-files/m-p/84753#M1830
