Hardrive format settings?

[sine90°]

I have windows vista 64 bit on bootcamp on my Macbook Pro and I ran into an issue.

I have a folder, rather large, on my Mac partition that I want to put on my windows partition. Because of vista, you cant just move it there.

I have an external hard drive but I cant seem to format it correctly so that windows sees it.

What settings do I use to format my external hard drive so that I can see the file when I boot in windows? I NEED TO be able to write to it in mac, and put the files onto windows.

I tried several times and nothing worked, with some MAC would not see it and with others windows would not see it.

Thanks for any help!

This does NOT fix my problem.

Macdrive does not support 64 bit windows and FAT 32 does not support more than 4 gig.

My file is a bit over 20 Gig.

Please help me, I kinda need this on windows.

You never made any mention of large files only folders.

HFSExplorer might work under 64-bit Vista. At least that's what my research shows.

Another option might be to use MacDrive.

Edit: Scratch MacDrive. Just checked their knowledge base. Doesn't work with x64 Windows.

It'll cost you $40, but this will enable you to write from your OSX side to your NTFS side.

You could also try splitting, transferring to FAT32 and then rejoining
