Graham's correct. Most Windows installs won't be able to understand an HFS+ (OS X filesystem) formatted drive.
Not sure what the max size for FAT32 is, so you may end up having to format as NTFS. That said the new version of OS X may or may not be able write to NTFS drives (used to not be able to), so you may end up reformatting, dropping files on it in windows, bringing them onto your MBP, reformatting to HFS+, dropping them back on again.
Alternatively, just connect your Windows box to the same network as your MBP, then copy over Samba ("Windows File Sharing"). Fewer headaches that way.
