Can i transfer information to a mac
I had a Dell computer with Windows XP and had backed up my information before my computer crashed. I bought a Mac Mini and am trying to transfer my information from the external hard drive to the Mac. Is this possible? Thanks for the help.

If the external hard drive has been formatted on a PC in NTFS file format then the MAC cannot read data off this hard drive.
The FIX..
Connect the USB external hard drive to a Windows computer and copy your data off this hard drive to the computer.
Then format the external hard drive in FAT32 file format. (the MAC can read and write to data to and from a Windows PC)
Now copy the your data from the computer back onto the external hard drive.
Now you can connect the external hard drive to the MAC and download your data to the MAC.
