newbie query!

I am a mac user but I do not have a popcorn hour yet.

I have a mac formatted external harddisk. it's formatted such that I can transfer files larger than 4 gigs. currently this external can only be read on macs and not on pcs.

will the popcorn hour recognise the external harddisk?

if not, what do I need to do such that the popcorn hour will recognise this external harddisk?

thanks for your time.

It depends on what format the disk is in, Have a look here under file systems to see.

I'm not familar with Macs so unsure what file system they use (HFS?)

I'm not familiar with the PCH, but if it supports NTFS you could always install NTFS 3G on your Mac. Its a free NTFS driver that works perfectly. Your Mac will read/write to any NTFS formatted disk.

I regularly have to transfer very large backup files (10gb+) from an NTFS formatted external HDD to our servers via my Mac and it works flawlessly.
