I usually use FAT32 since it can be read by Linux/Windows/Mac without
problems. This is assuming no single file is expected to be over 4GB.
If you are having problems with XP formatting the disk to FAT32
because it refuses to do so for "large" disks, simply use CentOS or a
DOS bootdisk to do the partitioning and formatting.

Of course if you need to store files bigger than 4GB, then best to use
Akemi's suggestion.
