How do you get a hard drive that works on version 10.6 mac on 10.7 mac?

How do you turn your mac hard drive into a windows hard drive?
I'm not quite sure what you mean, so I'll give you both answers: "How do you use a hard drive for Mac and Windows on the same machine?" On a mac, insert a Windows install CD or DVD, and the computer will ask you if you want to set up windows to run alongside mac. In the process you will partition the hard drive, so you will kind of have a windows hard drive, and a mac hard drive, but on the same disk. "How do you remove a Mac hard drive and put it in a Windows machine?" I am not a technical expert, so you might want to look up "How to remove and install a hard drive". All I know is it probably won't fit, so you might need to buy a hard drive enclosure and run the drive from a USB port. Hope one of these helps! If not, please revise your question
Are Mac and Windows hard drives the same?
There is no such thing as a "Mac" or a "Windows" hard drive. From a technological standpoint the hard drives found in Macintosh computers and those found in computer running Windows are identical. Any hard drive with the corresponding interface (SATA, IDE in older Macs, and most SCSI drives in really old Macs) can be used in either computer. The partition table and file system used by each operating system is generally not readable by the other, but the hard drive itself can be formatted and repurposed.
