Ok, so I am suppose to be an editor of our afterschool programs newsletter. I agreed upon doing this only if I was able to work off a template because I am not sure if I was getting paid for this and designing a layout myself is way too time comsuming because I suck at this stuff. Anyway, so they hired this guy to draw out a template, all I have to do is cut and paste. So he burnt me a CD with the template, only this is, I cant freaking open it. It says that WINDOWS CANNOT READ THE DISK, SOMETHING ABOUT THE FORMAT. Now I am thinking that our office have MACs. If the guy burnt the CD using a MAC am I not suppose to read it on my PC? Or is the disc just fawked up? The files on the disc are Pagemaker files which are swappable between systems. But I am not sure the format is.

 

take it to a school mac and see?
i am as clueless as you

 

Well the school doesnt have MACs, but our office do. But I dont think it is open on the weekends.

 

windows actual words? :chuckles:

maybe try copying to your hd and changing the extension to something else the program knows? sorry, i dunno

 

take it to a apple store :dunno:

 

h: Yea Windows is getting less precise h:

I cant even copy the files. Once I double click the drive, the ERROR window pops up. I guess I gotta find someone with a MAC h:

 

I was thinking that. I would probably need to email the files to myself? I dont think they will let me do that.

 

find an apple somewhere

thats the only solution

 

Will an Apple take a USB hard drive that is formated for Windows?

 

Wiwl, check with your local library or even your college, see if they have MACs
