Found out my external drive can only be read from my MAC since it's formatted as NTFS. Will FAT32 allow me to read/write?

Yes. I formatted my external firewire drive in FAT32 and I can read and write to the drive.

As far as I know, you won't be able to write to a drive formatted in NTFS.

You could probably mount the drive on a Win2K/XP/2003 box, share it and then connect to the share from the Mac using an account that has read/write access to the drive.
