OK, the title is fairly self-explanatory. I have a 120 GB external USB 2.0 drive with NTFS formatting attached to my PC. It has all my music, movies, pictures, etc. on it and I want to make sure it will talk to my new Powermac G5 with OS v10.4 (Which hasn't shipped yet.) The guy at the Apple Store said it would be better to use FAT32 formatting, but I don't have anyplace to store all my stuff in the meantime.
I could network the mac to my PC laptop and run things thattaway, but the laptop only has USB 1.1, which means a big serial chokepoint & copying everything could literally take days.
Anyone have any experience running an NTFS volume on Tiger?
