My friend has an external hard drive for his pc and wants to bring over some video material. It's a large amount of data and he figures the easiest way is to bring over the hard drive. Is there a program that will transfer files from a pc formatted hd to a mac?

Mac OS X can read and write FAT formatted volumes and read NTFS formatted volumes. You should be all set with the built-in software.

you didn't note what OS you are running..
but OS 8.6 and 9.x do just fine as well.
drag and drop just like it was yours.

Zuper! I thought I needed something special to read it but once again OSX is the 'Man'! BTW I'm running 10.3.7 on a DP 1.8 G5. Thanks for the help
