Does initializing a USB hard drive format the data (in XP)?

You could always get your friend to reformat the drive as FAT32 to be more compatible with pretty much any OS.-4wd (October 08, 2009, 02:16 AM)

Just keep in mind that you then can't have files larger than 232-1 bytes on the drive.

Here's the solution I used:  there's a free program called HFSExplorer.  It allows you to browse the contents of the  mac formatted drive and extract whatever files you need from it.  It worked great.
