external hard drive PC/Mac compatibility question

I have a question about using an external hard drive to transfer files from
a Windows PC to an Apple. I'm running WinXP on my home PC and I have
several huge files on my external firewire hard drive that I'd like to
transfer to a friend's G5 running Tiger. Can I just hook up the external
drive to her firewire port and then dump the files on to her hard drive?
Are there any compatibility issues?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
 
If the drive is FAT32 formatted, you should have no problems whatsoever. If it is NTFS you will, I think, be able to read files on a Mac; but write support will be iffy at best.
