For most of the files, I would like to have access to them on both PC and Mac, so zipping them might work. What's the best way to zip files on a Mac? Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion, but I need my USB key to be able to work in PC's also, so reformatting to HFS+ is not a viable option. Anyone else have any ideas, or even encounter this before? Thanks

I have a MicroNet 160GB external firewire hard drive that I have split into 2 partitions. One a HFS+ for Mac, and the other NTFS for PC. The plan was/is to use this hard drive as a place to back up files in our lab, where we use both Mac and PC. Ironically, after partitioning the disk, the...
