The Wiebetech drive I bought came with a CD with some software called
MacDrive. I loaded this onto my WinXP box and now when I plug it in, I get a
dialog box asking if I want to mount it using MacDrive.

It works great.

There isn't a good way to format a drive to mount on both a Mac and a PC.
You have to use FAT32 which sucks.
