Default back and forth between MAC and WIN environment

I work in WXP, LE 7.3 and need to take sessions to the big studio in 7.1 and they need to work on MACs. I use an external firewire drive that is formatted in NTFS.

Should I partition this drive in any way to make my sessions readable for the MAC environment? If so, would I save versions on ther MAC section of the drive before taking the sessions into the 'big' studio?

The Mac will be able to read that drive - all you need to do before opening the session is copy the session and all the audio files to a local, Mac-formatted drive.

I don't want the sesions moving to their drives unless there is a technical reason to do so. I want the work to be done on my drive and my drive only.

I've already tried this and the MAC would read the drive, but as read-only. I was able to copy the sessions over and work in them on his root drive. I also need to be able to take those sessions out fo the studio with drums on them and work on them at home. .

In order to accomplish this, should i reformat the drive half mac half win, and just copy the session back and forth between the two partitions?

PT on the PC can use Mac HFS+ drives if you have the right software

no push/pull needed
no multi partitions needed
