[QUOTE="Notfunny, post: 1269667, member: 208671"] Hello there, I have an important question and I hope you'll be able to help me out. I just bought a new external Samsung hard drive for work, that I also need to use at home. We run Windows 7 and XP at the office, but I'm working on Snow Leopard at home, will probably upgrade to Lion. I used to format my external hard drives to FAT32, and have never encountered compatibility issue with Windows/Mac. But the new hard drive won't let me format to FAT32, so I used ExFat. I'm now able to read and write at home on my iMac - but will that format work for Windows? I appreciate the help, Sandra [/QUOTE]
