[QUOTE="thomas.mascaro, post: 725618, member: 30108"] I have an external drive at home, but my job got me a pc that has windows xp on it. I want to buy a more portable external drive so I can take my music to work and listen through iTunes. If I format it as FAT32 through my mac will it be compatible? I only want the PC to read from the drive not write to. I also read that formatting this way limits files to 4GB or less. Is this just individual files or will it hold my entire music library (20GB total, but no individual file that large)? Thanks - thomas [/QUOTE]
