I see...
What about this process?
I found it on another thread in these forums earlier today...
"Partition the drive on the PC to one part NTFS and one part FAT32
Then from the mac reformat the FAT32 partition to Mac OS Extended (journaled) for the mac, especially if you want to use Time Machine"
I don't care about being able to write to the windows partition from my Mac. It's fine if I can only view those files. I was just trying to recall the steps that guy at the Apple store said to go through because I remember something he said about how Windows can't overwrite/re-format a partition once it's formatted by Mac. So you had to do it in a Windows format first. The rest is hazy in my swiss-cheese memory.
