    Dean is correct regarding OSX. Anything from 10.6.4 (which is a 2009 build) on up will read exFAT. Windows 7 has native exFAT support.

    Oddly enough according to Apple's own statistics, over 68% of OSX Snow Leopard users are still on 10.6.3 and 10.6.2.

I have a couple of flash drives I have formatted to NTFS. One for an install drive and one for a readyboost test. If I formatted the drive in CMD do I have to format it the other way (to FAT32) in CMD or can I just right click the flash drive and format it there?
