wd passport hd not recongising on windows pc (it has content from a mac)
my friend has transferred files over to my passport wd harddrive, he said it would format it so it will work on both a pc and a mac

i have tried to connect the drive to my laptop (windows) but its not recongising it. i have been to disk management i see the drive, but it doesnt let me assign a letter?

can anyone advise? (it has important content) and i only have a windows laptop...

Have you tried a different disk management tool, the one included with Windows is pretty useless for anything other than to format.

Something like this >> http://www.partition-tool.com/

To be honest, it sounds like he's formatted it for Mac, rather than using FAT32 or NTFS.

Read Mac disks from Windows with HFSexplorer.
