In particular it’s a Mac Laptop and I want to move the stuff to a media center PC, but when I pull out the media center drive and hook it up to the Mac, the mac thinks that it’s a locked drive or something. Any way to transfer easily over a LAN between 2 OS’s?

Or alternatively, both computers have a FIREWIRE slot… could I do something there? Thanks guys!
