MakeUseOf is awesome, and I even appreciate the things you do that don’t interest me.

ExFAT is currently the best option for external drives that need to be read and written to by both Windows and Mac OS based computers.

I though the point of a Hackintosh was to install OSX on unsupported hardware… Not on systems that came preinstalled with it.

Hi James, you are totally right but we tend to forget that the world is a bit bigger that the G5 and technology advanced countries. What about the poor countries (e.g. Africa – I live here) where people do not have the financial meens like us to buy new technology whenever it becomes available. I am one of the lucky ones.

Windows 7 does do FAT32, see this article: What A File System Is & How You Can Find Out What Runs On Your Drives The problem is that under Windows, only drives that don't exceed 32GB can be formatted with FAT or FAT32.

The password should have been emailed to you in the Wlecome email from MakeUseOf.
Regradless, it’s “makeuseof” (without quotes)

Let me know if you encounter any other issues.

I enter the email address I receive the newsletter at, but it just shows “The password you entered is incorrect. ..” err msg. The email from MUO shows that I’m subscribed to it, but there’s no mention of any password in it anywhere.

Janet, if you are subscribed to our newsletter, you can enter your email address and name here (pretending to sign up again) to view the password. If you are not subscribed, obviously that will work also.

win7 won’t do fat32, why didn’t you mention exfat?
(as long as you’re not talking about linux connectivity);
doesn’t win7 do exfat either? (I have only vista, xp)
