[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 1507496, member: 11094"] FAT will give you read/write from both OSes = True External USB drive formatted HFS+ will not be readable for Windows so it doesn't matter what the TC image file is, the drive itself won't be readable by Windows. Disadvantages for FAT are 4GB file size limits, but since you are creating several 250MB images, (which I personally don't understand) you won't need worry of that limit. You could partition the the drive with a FAT and HFS+ partition and just encrypt both partitions and be done. You'd have to use the Mac to move stuff to the FAT for Windows, or just deal with the FAT 4GB limit and do the who drive FAT and encrypt it. [/QUOTE]
