I have an old HDD with a backup of a previous laptop that was running OS X 10.4. (I'm now running 10.7 on my new laptop.)
I've just got a 1TB HDD that I want to partition, with part being used on the OS X 10.4 back up (160GB), part for backing up my current laptop (128GB) and the final part for general storage. Ideally all three partitions would be readable to a Windows PC.
I gather exFAT is only usable with 10.5 and above. So my question is, can I use exFAT for all partitions, given that one partition will have 10.4 on it? Or should I format that partition with FAT32 or Mac OS Extended (and if so, which)?
