Rock Mobile Disk
I bought a Rock Mobile Disk from eBay and set it up with Time Machine on my Mac before I realized it would make the external hard drive unreadable on the Windows side of my Parallels. I can't find a way to reformat the drive so both my OS 10.5.8 and Windows XP on Parallels can view and save files. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I believe that would be FAT32 to be compatible with both environments.

You will probably have to use a 3rd party utility to partition and format it, Windows will only create 32gig partitions for FAT32, but will read/write to any valid size FAT32 partition.
