From: hounslow3 on 23 Jun 2010 18:49 Hi all, I have an external hard drive, which contains about 250GB. Software that came with the equipment is installed on my older PC. The problem, however, is that I now cannot find the CD that contains the software as I would like to use the hard drive in conjunction with my MacBook Pro. I have tried to connect the external drive to the Mac, but neither one will respond to the other without the software installed. Is there any way around this without the installation software? The external drive now contains some iTunes files that I need to transfer. Also, I noticed that when I bought the Mac and connected it to my Internet line, it configured itself right away and was able to connect. Since then, however, the PC has not been able to do so. Can anybody advise what I might do in the PC's settings in order to have it connect to the Internet? Will this affect my Mac's connectivity to the Internet going forward? Might be worth pointing out at this point that I am not on WiFi, but rather have a physical connection. Thanks for any advice.

Well, there is no way around on the software..if installed on HD #01 in GUI #02 (and considerations thereby for machine #03), and you want to use the software elsewhere, you are stuck unless the "new" machine is rather similar to the original. In your case the only thing that would be common is the HD. Files can be transferred as one sees fit without regard to OS with a few exceptions: Boot to a non-NTFS OS and you will be unable to use any NTFS partitions.
