[QUOTE="Kokopelli, post: 105107"] So back around the corner to the original question... The most direct solution if you need both large file support and the ability to transfer files between Mac and Windows is to partition the drive. Create a 30GB FAT32 partition for transfering files and use the rest for either a NTFS (If the drive is mostly for Windows) or HFS+ (if the drive is mostly for Mac) partition. If you really need to, you could use MacDisk for Windows to read and write to the HFS volume. [/QUOTE]
