Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / March 2007Thumb Drives
If I have a thumb drive and put a Power Point (Mac) presentation on it can I take it to work and transfer it to a PC? Will the PC be able to read the drive? > If I have a thumb drive and put a Power Point (Mac) presentation on it can I > take it to work and transfer it to a PC?

Disk Utility will reformat it to the MS-DOS filing system, but of course erase the drive in the process. So, if I don't mess with it the Mac can read and write to the PC format, no problem?

No functional problem, but it is a LOT slower so be patient if the file is large. > If I have a thumb drive and put a Power Point (Mac) presentation on it can I > take it to work and transfer it to a PC?
