Maybe, but I wouldn't recommend it. It would probably work, but the file system will be HFS, which Windows doesn't support. In other words, you could plug it in but you wouldn't be able to read any files.Unless, you got an Apple hard drive in a mac which *wasn't* the drive you were booting from, and in the mac you'd formatted it using Disk Utility as FAT32, then you could make it work. But, this would only be available in rare cirumstances - which you probably don't have.Hope that helps, Simon H

Just format the hard drive to MS-DOS file system.
