Using an Iomega External HD with XP and a Mac

[Jack Gillis]

I recently bought an Iomega External HD (100G) drive to use primarily on my
XP systems. It came out of the box formatted FAT32. As I understand it
from
Google Groups, this drive can be plugged into a Mac and used for both
reading and writing to share files between the XP and Mac machines.

Is this correct?

In theory, yes, since the connection is probably USB or Firewire. However,
whether or not the External HD can be read depends on the Mac Operating
System and/or whether a conversion utility is required.
