Answer 1

There is hardly anything useful in the other two answers.



You are mistaken about the 32-bit vs 64-bit response. The bandwidth of the OS does not affect drive format use in the least.



Windows can use an external drive only if it has Master Boot Record partition scheme and either NTFS format or some version of FAT format.



If the drive had MBR scheme before it was formatted in Mac OS, it can be formatted NTFS for use with Windows and it will work perfectly with all "bit" versions of Windows.



If the drive's partition scheme was set as GUID in Mac OS, you must remove that to add MBR partition scheme.

Answer 2

You won't be able to read the drive on a 32 bit system, it's written in 64 bit system. You might want to explore for an application to install on Windows-32 that would some how convert the data being read to 64 bits as it read.
