But with my Mac, it's more - well, philosophical I suppose. I currently use two XP Pro boxes, an Ubuntu Linux box, and even an old Win98SE box occasionally for some older apps that I use once in a while. ![]() I would have no reason to move these to a PC, and if I want PC files on my Mac, I will just use one of my other USB drives to do that. From a data intregrity standpoint, I just feel better knowing that my FileMaker files are stored in a native Mac format rather than PC-DOS. It stays in my iMac from startup to shutdown for use as as a backup drive for important files so I don't have to change out 100MB Zip disks. ![]() Lastly, to respond to your questions of "why?", the answer is simply this: I am not concerned about cross-platform file exchange with this USB drive. ![]() I just disabled File Exchange, rebooted, then the OS told me it was unreadable and offered to format it for me (which I did). ![]() Second, I figured out a way to do it - so simple that when I realized it, the sound of my palm hitting my forhead could be heard in the next town. First, thank you for your replies to my post.
