I've got a LaCie external hard drive with multiple connectors. I'd like to share it between two computers. Can I pull this off?

What if one PC is Mac and the other is Windows?

Responses:

No. Plug it into Windows and network share it to the mac -- nm - oblique Apr 24, 10:17 2

  - If you're concerned, use a crossover cable between the two computers, but yeah, you could still share it from PC to PC even on corp -- nm - oblique Apr 24, 10:19
I'd make sure neither uses a FalCie hard drive. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 24, 10:09 1

Don't do it. Final Fantasy XIII tells us that the L'Cie will destroy the planet if we let them. -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 24, 10:08 2

not unless you have a utility that will allow the mac to write to it. - colin Apr 24, 10:08 1
- That's not a problem. The disc is partitioned into the the two file systems, and the Mac has a utility to write to NTFS anyway. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Apr 24, 10:17
Survey says . . .? -- nm - Richard Dawson Apr 24, 10:07
