Hi there,

Does anyone know what file system to format a hard drive for use with both a PC and a Mac? I need to transfer big files between work and home so I bought a LaCie Pocket Drive which is both Firewire and USB but i'm confused about whether this can be done, i'm using Windows 2000 at work and OSX and OS9 at home.

I was assuming that the Mac would be able to read NTFS but i'm not so sure now.

thanks in advance
If it rained soup I'd have a fork in my hand!
