This support topic from LaCie will help. Although, authored by LaCie it is so for all HDDs. In short, choose MS-DOS.

I have tried to use Windows Meida Player and I threw up.

Try Flip for Mac.

format it MS-DOS (which i believe formats it FAT16???)

then put it on a 'dows comp and re-reformat it FAT32 for optimum performance

OR

if you wanted it part mac part pc, partion it and format one side HFS journaled and the other NTFS or FAT32
