Sorry if this question has been asked a zillion times. I searched but couldn't find anything.

We just purchased the software last week and ordered (what I thought) was the recommended external disk drive. Since everything is mac-based, I just searched on the model number and bought it. Well, the drive arrived last night and it's WINDOWS COMPATIBLE.

Am I dead in the water with something that I paid $100 for and can't use or is there some kind of work around before I attempt to send this drive back?

Any assistance or advice to this newbie would be very appreciated.

Plug the drive in and use it.

Just because the idiots in the marketing department have never heard of "Macintosh" does not mean it won't work. If it's USB or FireWire, it will work.

Duh. Then I guess that I don't have to install the "software". That's where I was getting stuck -- trying to get the software to install.

Gotta love my mac.

I can't wait to have fun with this.

Thank you.

Keep us posed on how it rips AND burns, we all want to know!
