How should one format a 500Gb Maxtor USB2 external drive for read/write use on both Windows and Mac?
I tried using NTFS, but you can’t write to it on the Mac, except using MacFUSE and NTFS-3G Read/Write Driver which *totally* corrupted all the data, after the computer crashed in the middle of writing to it.
I tried using FAT32, which had to be done using Swissknife, because 500Gb is too large for Windows to format in FAT32 natively, but it was immediately totally corrupted on the Mac.
It eventually worked though.
