While Mac OS X can read support for NTFS drives, but it can’t write to NTFS drives without third-party software. Some media devices, including Smart TVs, media players, and printers, don’t support NTFS. NTFS file systems are only compatible with Windows 2000 and later versions of Windows. Both Windows and Mac OS X have full read-write support for exFAT drives without any additional third-party software. FAT32 has some serious limitations–individual files can only be up to 4GB in size each, for example–but exFAT doesn’t. But on MAC, NTFS volume becomes read only i.e. You can only copy data from external HDD to your MAC but not the other way around. Now you can always format your hard drive to FAT32/exFAT and make it compatible on both platforms or even use samba server to share file between MAC and Windows.

The SD Memory Card Formatter formats SD Memory Card, SDHC Memory Card and SDXC Memory Card (respectively SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards) complying with the SD File System Specification created by the SD Association (SDA).

It is strongly recommended to use the SD Memory Card Formatter to format SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards rather than using formatting tools provided with individual operating systems. In general, formatting tools provided with operating systems can format various storage media including SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards, but it may not be optimized for SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards and it may result in lower performance.

SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards have a “Protected Area” for SD Card security purposes. The SD Memory Card Formatter does not format the protected area in the SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards. The protected area shall be formatted by an appropriate PC application or SD host devices that provide SD security function.

The SD Memory Card Formatter doesn’t support SD/SDHC/SDXC Card encrypted by the “BitLocker To Go” functionality of Windows. Please format the SD/SDHC/SDXC Card after it has been unlocked.

I think Mac OS X has always

Software To Read Fat32 On Mac Hard Drive

been able to read and write FAT drives; 10.1 definitely could. That's why CompactFlash readers &c work.

(In fact, there's a minor problem with reading CompactFlash cards from EPOC machines such as Psions, but I have a workaround, and I believe this will be fixed in 10.3.)

Even in OS 9 I can see my NEO drive, when hooked to the right firewire enclosure, and that's also a FAT32 drive.
The extra directories that the mac writes are quite annoying in that setting, since they get written to the top of the drive, and clutter up your mp3 folders. I've been thinking about using terminal to delete them, next time I update the neo.
The neo is a really cool mp3 player for your car, btw, check it out at ssiamerica.com. The mac support is a little iffy, but you can make it work.

Since Mac 10.x is based on FreeBSD, it embraces the SMB protocols. If you were switching to a PC, you could use a crossover cable or a more proper network to just mount a Windows-formatted drive using
'Connect to Server'. Macs can read PC disks and so forth, but not vice versa; if you buy a PC-formatted Zip100 disk, you can use it back and forth between Mac and PC provided you delete the .trash files on it. You could also set up a VPN and run Windows boxes remotely. For more info, check out samba.org and google VPN.

One point made to me by my friends was that if you want an external
firewire/USB drive to be readable and writeable under MacOSX, Linux, and
Windows NT/2000/others, the firewire drive should be formatted as
FAT32. I don't believe any other filesystem format allows the
ability to read and write from all three operating systems.
One thing to note is that I wasn't able to format FAT32 partitions
of larger than ~30GB (at least under Windows 2000), so I had to
break an 80gB drive into 30gB/30gB/20gB sized partitions under Windows 2000
before I could format them. But once I partitioned the drive
and formatted the partitions, I could plug the drive
into my TiBook and see all the FAT32 partitions, and write to them.

Can Mac Read Write Fat32

You need to install the latest service packs for windows 2000 then you can very large hard drive partitions (greater than 30GB).

Interoperability and FAT32 and firewire problems.

This is simply not true. Windows 2000 and Windows XP won't let you format a drive using FAT 32 if it's larger than 30gigs because Microsoft wants you to use NTFS. If you format the drive using Windows 98 or even a Windows 2000/XP installation cd, your Windows 2000/XP will read the drive just fine. Microsoft decided to implement this arbitrary limit to try to get people to migrate to NTFS to make it harder for people to leave windows, and to mitigate problems with FAT32.
Suggestions for formatting a large FAT32 drive:
1) Use linux to format the drive.
2) Try Partition Magic or similar product, some of these have arbitrary limits as well, but usually larger than your average Windows OS.
3) Use Windows 98 with an updated service pack.
4) Use your Windows 2000/XP install cd and pretend to install Windows on the hard drive, it will ask you to format the drive and it will let you choose fat32 even for large devices.
Some interesting tips on using large firewire drives. DO NOT try to connect to a Mac OS 10.1 machine! For some odd reason my 100gig firewire drive cannot be understood by OS 10.1 but Jaguar (10.2) works just fine. At first I thought it was my drive, but it's a generic housing and putting smaller ~20gig drives in it works just fine.
Also trying to connect my titanium powerbook as an external firewire drive to a 10.1 desktop fails miserably (hold the T button down while booting your laptop to make it act as an external firewire device). But when I updated my desktops to Jaguar suddenly my laptop and my 100gig firewire drive worked just fine. I think t
