First post here so hello !

Got a hitachi 250gig minidrive. Would like to use it for the Macbook and a R52 thinkpad. What is the best way to format it. Its for pics and Open office documents.

I'm running 10.4.11 and XP PRo

Thanks
 
Format the drive as FAT32. You're limited to files under 4GB in size per file but that's a non issue for your usage.
