OS X has ALWAYS been able to read and write FAT32-formatted drives.  
However most Windows systems XP and newer use NTFS formatted drives

OS X 10.3 and higher can read NTFS, but you need to hack things around  
to write to them. (using MacFUSE and NTFS3G)

However with 10.2.8, you're ool, I think. I don't remember ever being  
able to get NTFS working on the Mac back then.
