How do you save files and pictures from my mac to an external hard drive that has files from a pc?

Isabel

I run two computers, a pc and a mac. I've got thousands of photos that I can't store completely on the pc and need to be able to use on both computers. The external hard drive is formatted for mac and the pc. I can save files from the pc to the drive, but any attempt to save a file from the mac doesn't work. Can't find a reference online that offers help.

Answer
Move everything off the drive then format it in Fat32 (MS-DOS File System)
