I want to be able to copy all my media from my mac hard drive to my external so that when i run boot camp I can access all of my media on my external and play it in windows. Is this possible?
wow thats a really use full answer....thanks so much for answering my question.
could someone explain to me how do to this? im not sure which format to make my external etc. I want to read it in windows so i cant format it to the mac format, but if i do that i cant write to it so i dont know what to do.

You can either do it in two ways.
The first is to format it using HFS+ and when running Windows using Macdrive; the alternative is to format it using Fat32.
If you go Fat32, I have found the performance with Mac OS X pretty average - but the flip side if you go HFS+, MacDrive will set you back a few bucks.
In the end, I went with HFS+ and bought MacDrive, works wunderfully with Vista and XP.
