She also worry some of her old files won't work on Win8....

how come all these Dell laptop can't upgrade the memory......?

呀reception真係有錢用千幾買部laptop for download，咁不如考慮macbook？ 佢咁用買部簡單機，慳返幾百請飲野仲好啦！

佢的情況用返win7安全呀，6GB RAM 夠用啦，同CSR講就得，依家無得online place order 時upgrade RAM，除咗high-end model

Question:  if my external drive plugged into PC (win7) and it says empty (no error, but asked me to format it before use, as if it is a new drive), but if I plugged into macbook, everything works normal, I could see and access all my files.

What do you think could be wrong and what can I do about it?

By the way, the drive used to working fine on the same PC and same OS (a month ago).  I have not used it for a month and today it says it is empty.

File talbe format 唔同呀！個HDD係咪係MAC format先？ win 7 睇唔到MAC 個 file format

no it was formatted and used mainly in windows.. I don't remember if I ever plugged into mac before today

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100730141617AAjEtVs <-- This person had the same problem but I don't like the solution.  it basically was saying "windows sucks", but that post was two years old, i am hoping there is a better way to resolve this in win7. -_-

more info: I plugged it into the macbook again, and checked the info of the drive, its format is NTFS.  -_-  how ironic, osx can read a NTFS drive but win7 cannot.

how about another win7 and winXP? same issue?

let me try xp!
