I gave him an external Maxtor, which I allowed him to reformat. He says he formatted it NTFS, and put a bunch of footage on it, from a Windows system. When I attempt to mount it on three of my Macs, I get the "This disk is unreadable..." message. I've tried it with NTFS Mounter turned on and off, to the same result. I have been able many times in the past to mount NTFS volumes. And FAT-32, etc. Will installing Windows 7 on a spare disk help? That's $200 for a shot in the dark. Or, can anybody think of something else I can try? Thanks, Jim C.
