    i recently bout a 120g external hard drive and put it an a USB 2.0 case and i wanted to use it for both mac and pc like yourself. I had heaps of trouble making it work for both formats. Ended up having to partition the drive in two. One for mac and one for pc. The mac can only read the FAT32 formatted drive (which can only ever be a maximum of 32gb) and the pc can read both the FAT and NTFS formats. Come to think of it now i shouldve made two separate Mac drives and one pc.

    ....Stoopid me.
