The right way to format Windows disks using a Mac

FAT32 is a common format for MOST macs, yet a free easy download of NTFS-3G allows the MAC to read and write NTFS very easily.
The FAT32 file format has too many limitations for today's files which may exceed the 4GB limit imposed on FAT32 file sizes.

A much better "RIGHT WAY"

Also it is much better to FIX one MAC than to fix all PC NTFS drives that may connect to it.

Just because FAT32 is a "NATIVE" MAC filesystem, does not mean you should use it. The same goes for that special MS Vista FileSystem --- exFAT --- which nothing can use except Vista.

However, I do stand corrected, when you are formatting drives, especially USB ones for use in a NON-PC environment such as your PlayStation or Samsung TV and other devices that use the FAT32. My point is made ONLY for exchanging files between a MAC and a PC.
