Default PC to MAC transfer question....firewire

Hey, I tracked a live concert for a friend so he can sync it up to video later. Anyway, I enforced mac-pc compatibitlity, etc.... My question is, the file is 30GB and I need to transfer it to his MAC as he is mixing it (and free up the space on my drive). He has a firewire drive, but it's formatted for mac. Is there a way I can hook it up to my pc and transfer the files to his firewire drive? Or does anyone have any ideas? Rail to the rescue.....

Rail just helped someone with the same question. Search his name for about the past 2 weeks and you'll find the thread quickly.

My firewire drive is formatted to FAT32 and I use it to read and write PT sessions from mac and PC.

Download the demo of MacDrive6 from www.mediafour.com -- and if your FireWire card is up to the job you should be able to mount his Mac formatted drive and just copy the session.

Thanks, I have the SIIG 3-port PCI I/O 1394 card, do you know if it can handle it?

That should be fine. Any FireWire cards which are 002 compatible will be okay... otherwise you may get a transfer error when copying large files.
