[QUOTE="ticedoff8, post: 933887, member: 117762"] Or... Use FAT32 to format the USB HD. It isn't great - FAT32 has a limitation of 4GB per FILE, but otherwise, it's the easiest and most transportable. I use it to share my VMWare virtual machines between my Macs & PCs - as long as I tell VMWare to use 2GB "chunks" for the vmdk images. If you use a FUSE driver, the USB drive works fine on your Mac, but not someone else's. FAT32 works every where, including Linux. [/QUOTE]
