i have a seagate 700 gig usb hard drive which has always been plugged into typical dell laptop running xp pro. the other day my nephew borrowed it to copy a bunch of mp3's. i thought it was going into his mom's pc. instead he plugged it into his mac. it didn't recognize it at all. now when i plug it back into my pc it shows like a new unformatted 700 gig drive. i ran partition magic 8.05 to see if i could restore the partition and i couldn't....BUT, it did show that the previous amout of disk space which was occupied by my data was still...."occupied" so i know it is not completely wiped out. Any ideas? I cannot believe i am the first person to plug a pc usb drive into a mac and lose every thing. Is there a trick, software package...anything...HELP!!!!!!!
