Help with portable hard drive?

Mark J.

I have a 500GB hp portable hard drive "HP Personal Media Drive"
I used it on a Mac once and I could only get files off of it and I couldn't save anything to it. When I took it back to my PC it wouldn't work at all.

"USB Device Not Recognized"

Or whatever. So do i need to like re-format it or something now? That would suck because it has some home videos that i don't have backed up anywhere else. Any ideas?

Answer
The hard drive has been set to Mac format and need to be redone in windows format
You could try refitting it to the mac to get your videos off of it
