    Hi
    I am trying to transfer my data from my workplace computer which is Mac at my home Windows XP computer. I formatted my pendrive with Dos format.
    But it is not getting recognized in my Windows XP computer.
    The options for Ms-Dos formatting in my XP is greyed out and it allows only Fat32 formatting.
    Please suggest how to view my files!
    Thanks

    FAT32 can be read by Macs, windows and linux so that is how you want your pendrive formatted.
