Linda,
You should have your drives formatted to HFS+ for any OS 8.1 or above, as
long as those drives don't have to be accessed by a machine running any OS
before 8.1 (they can't see files on HFS+ format drives). Just a cryptic
readme that tells you were all of your data has gone to. An alternative to
reformatting (but not backing up!) is PlusMaker by Alsoft. Not a free
solution, but pretty easy. Check it out here:

No affiliation to Alsoft, just a happy user of this product.
