I read the Q&A and Apple article on doing file transfers. I just want to make sure it really is as easy as "drag and drop". I was under the impression that there were incompatibility issues with NTFS, PC FAT32, and PCFAT.
I have a 160GB Simpletech external drive that I just bought. I'm at someone elses house transferring mp3 files from their PC onto it (haven't used the drive on Mac yet) and just want to make sure there's nothing I need to do before I leave.

OS X can read/write FAT32 but can only read NTFS. That said if you are just putting files onto the hard drive from Windows and then reading that hard drive to your Mac you should have no problem.
Only problem would be if the external hard drive was formatted in HFS+ which is not very likely.
