If your firewire drive is PC-formatted, it will work in the lab, but it will have a 2GB limit per file. This would only be a problem for people digitizing video more than 8 minutes per file. If you don’t want to have this limitation, reformat your FireWire drive in the Mac Extended format, using the software that came witj your FireWire drive. You can reformat back to PC format at a later date if you need PC compatability. If you do not have a Mac to install your formatting software, please have the lab assistant reformat your drive at the lab check-in station. This process only takes about a minute. You will need to make sure everything is off of the drive before you reformat.
