[QUOTE="Kyomii, post: 180324, member: 7328"] If you format it as FAT32 - both your Windows and Mac and Linux machines will be able to mount the drive and read and write to it - that is the best way to go for compatibility. How many partitions you put on is up to you - if you wanted you could put a Mac HFS partition on and a FAT32. [URL=http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030613121738812]HERE[/URL] is some more information for you to begin with on how to achieve both a Mac HFS partition and a FAT 32 partition on the same external drive.
