I just bought a 750 gig drive and formated it in fat32 so both windows
and the mac could read it over the network we have set up with the
airport extreme.

yes I can agree with you there
there is also a classic thing as well about hard drive transfer. IDE
to
sSCSI will transfer but not the other way as an example. it can
depend on the
format characteristics of the drive and other settings including
jumper
settings on the actual HDD in the caddy as well as to how it can
show up in windows
and mac. unfortunately windows XP suffers from issues which cause
mac
drives to fail or be seen as an unrecognisable media type
requiring a format.
that can sometimes be a problem. there are also documented cases
of data
writing on the caddy from a mac and data being irradicated when
hooked up to
a PC when it goes to scan disk or chkdsk.exe
anyhow if it was me I'd run an extended mac drive anyway
take care all and have fun
party on doods and doodettes
