    Your straight. Aslong as its not NTFS. I got that setup on a maxtor external 300. Though you wont be able to access the HD by both machines at the same time obviously. works fine.

    os x - reads/writes to fat32, reads ntfs only, no write support.

    xp - reads/writes to fat32, reads/writes hfs+(mac format) if you purchase mac drive

    I recommend you get mac drive since fat32 is rather archaic.
