I need to deliver about 25 gig of images to a client and would like to give them it on an external HD like I usually do but they use Windows/Dell and needed to know if I need to prepare the drive a certain way so they can read the data (TIFF's and JPG's in folders) if I do need to do something special can it be done with the disk utility in OS 10.4.9

thank you
Ray

Yes, the drive needs to be formatted as MS-DOS. Open Disk Utility, click the drive, click the Erase tab and choose MS-DOS from the Volume Format drop down.
