i want a portable hard drive to store the thousands of photos i have sitting on my computer.

Answer
any Segate, or Western Digital will be good, make sure you have higher Gigbyte storage.
most are plug and play with USB.
You can use a 3 GB or larger Flash Drive too or store on CD or DVD's

I have a 1tb western digital portable hard drive that i have been using since december 2011 that was formatted originally to windows but 3 months a go i reformatted it with the help of APPLE to exFAT so it can work with my mac and windows.
BUT a few days a go it all the sudden stopped working!
when i plug my hard drive to my mac and tried opening it it wont let me at all my mac jumps to the desk top
BUT when i plug the hard drive to my windows laptop it lets me view my files and everything but i cant copy them off or add any files..

i know i can reformat it and it will work again but i cant loose the files on it because most of them are very important to me apart from my movies.

PLEASE HELP!

Answer
Because it sounds like both operating systems are unable to properly use the drive, I would guess you have a corrupted structure. The only surefire way to fix this is to reformat (and make sure you are ejecting the drive before removing it). One thing to try would be to see if a Linux computer could read and write to the drive - at least then you could copy the contents somewhere else so you could format the drive. You could install Ubuntu LInux for free through Windows using the Wubi installer (link below).
