Ive got a pc (win7) and a mac (sl, but will update soon).

Im thinking of getting an extra internal hdd for my pc that I want to share with the mac.

One partition will be purely for timemachine backups, and another to share between both computers.

Is this doable?

If so, how do I set up the hdd in w7 to be visible to the mac?

What fileformat do I use for the partitions?

And finally, when I burn backup-dvds from the shared folder using the burner on the pc, will the files be readable on both platforms?
