[QUOTE="SteelWheel, post: 219815"] Yeah, my research indicates that FAT32 is readable by both, and NTFS is as well, but the Mac can't write to NTFS. This is basically the same deal that exists for those who dual boot Windows and Linux. Which makes sense since OS X is based on one of the BSD versions, which is a close cousin to Linux..... I'm still chewing on this idea myself. It's either this, or I'm going to get a Lenovo ThinkPad T60 and do the dual boot thing there (with some flavor of Linux). There's some plusses and minuses for me either way, so I'm still trying to make up my mind. [/QUOTE]
