[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 975267, member: 71075"] That's because the drive is likely formatted as FAT32 which is fully supported (r/w) by both OSes but has the 4GB file size limit. As noted by mrplow, you are going to have to format the drive with NTFS or HFS+ which will require you to install/make changes on either of the two operating systems.
