Just bought a MBP (10.5) and am using Cubase for some recording. I would like to copy some Cubase files from a friend running a pc with windows XP. He tried burning the files to a CD but they were all coasters. I believe his burner is going out. I was thinking thumb drive or portable hard drive. Would the portable need to be formatted as fat 32? If I used an external drive for back-up any problems with using 2 partitions (HFS+ and Fat32) on the same drive?
He is also extremely cautious about catching a virus so no internet connection for transfers. Could I use a cross-over cable or USB cable?
Saw this drive on Costco's site.

It says "use for sharing large files between office & home, between PC & Mac" but they don't explain how. I apologize for my naivete.
Any suggestions appreciated. Anyone with experience moving and using cross platform Cubase files especially appreciated.
