[QUOTE="grammatonmac, post: 176913"] Format the drive as fat32 if it will work, I forget the limit size of fat32, you may have to make 2 partitions but iirc fat32 does 2 terabytes in size, so one partiton should be ok. If you make the partition in winXP you may have trouble getting to to format as fat32 over 32 gigs, MS wants you to use NTFS over 32 gigs for what ever reason. I am pretty sure in the disk utils on OSX you can format as fat32. Hope this helps, I have ony been a mac user for 3 weeks myself. [/QUOTE]
