Is there a way that I can have her check to see what type of filesystem
it might be? I don't know much about the admin side of osx. From my
understanding, it was a second hd she had added to store data.. so like
a secondary disk..if that makes any diff in mac osx.

perhaps i should ask an osx group. ;-)

As Dylan replied, with OSX it is most likely 
an HFS+ filesystem, but if you want to find out
for sure, have her Ctrl-click on the Macintosh 
Hard Drive icon. In the "Get Info" box that pops
up, it will say "Macintosh OS Extended" for
HFS+. (If it is HFS it will say something like
"Macintosh OS" or "Macintosh OS Standard".)
