XP won't read HFS drives, and OSX won't read NTFS. You have two
choices:

1. Format your drive FAT32. It doesn't come up as an option in the
usual place under XP, but I accidentally found a way to do while looking
for something else one day. If I could remember what that way was, I
would tell you! g The point is, it *is* possible.

2. Buy MacDrive software. Then your XP box will read HFS drives.
Format the drive with the Mac and you're good to go.
