I bought the Western Digital MyBook Studio 500GB to find that it only works with mac.

Does the Western Digital MyBook Home 500GB work on both mac and windows?

Thanks.

That unit works fine with Windows, it just comes formatted for the Mac with Mac software. If you follow the instructions on the WD product page you'll be fine.
