hi, thanks for the suggestions so far.
suggestion 1 - ftp between mac/pc i've tried this a get the same 'file cannot be found' errors i've experienced when using smb file sharing - real pain! suggestion 2 - key drive could be use to transfer files between the computers. been doing this with my other files! i've formatted my ipod for windows and it works a treat as a portable disk between two platforms. suggestion 3 - burn a cross platform disk from the mac i can borrow a 'fast' burner from work - if i did this, would it preserve file names ect? if the names are preserved, i may go for option 3 - seems the easiest as i don't need to copy the cd's data onto the pc, i simply need to convert the disks. as a side, i've just had to 'copy' the contents of a mac cd to the pc at work. to do this i used drop zip to create a zip file of the complete cd. this reduced it from 640mb to around 350mb and then i copied that using smb file sharing from the mac to the pc. worked a treat! saved on space as i just drag the files i need from the zip archive and it was a smaller file to copy across. the 'file cannot be found' errors didn't happen as it was just one zip. cool! thanks again for the responses, cheers, jake -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
