Hi all,
I was just wondering if it was possible to install and format a hard drive from an old apple mac into my windows PC (to save my buying another hard drive).

Regards,
Navarre

Maybe.

Is it an IDE drive?

Thanks for the prompt reply psi42. Unfortunately I don't know the answer to your question. How can I find out?
Cheers,
Navarre

I'm pretty sure that mac's and PC's use the same type of hard drives, IDE drives, and that all you have to do is format it to the FAT or NTFS file system for it to work. I'm assuming this because the same is true for floppy disks
