Karen, you can use the PC disk on a Mac, but you do have to format it.
Open the drive and look for the format command. Be aware, it will take 20 minutes or more to format it. (At least, it took a lot longer than 20 minutes to format my Superdisk from Mac to PC, and that was an internal IDE drive.
Good luck
