just quietly - why is it not compatible with mac?? lol, just reformat it to FAT or HFS…Granted any software with it is not mac compatible.

  For me, I simply have my mac read and write NTFS. No formatting required.

meaning VM ware/parralels? How else does a mac write NTFS, is there software?

there are many ways, I simply format all my external drive to NTFS to get around the 4GB fat32 limit. Then have both my mac and Vista PC sharing them.
