[QUOTE="wmprice1240, post: 939785, member: 99551"] Yes. OSX can read/write FAT32 natively, and read NTFS (but not write) natively. Thirdparty tools/add-ons allow you to write to NTFS volumes as well. Windows machines require thirdparty software to read/write to HFS+ volumes. The easiest way to get what you want is to use the least common denominator of file systems, FAT32; this way you will be able to read/write from Windows and OSX without the use of thirdparty software add-ons or utilities.
