Is there any format I can use for a 300 gig drive, so OSX and Vista via bootcamp can both read and write to it?

Thanks!

If you format it as NTFS, and install the NTFS-3g driver in OS X, you will be able to read and write to it. I have had great results this way.

Just get MacDrive. It's Windows a program that allows Windows to access mac drives (nomen omen). I have and it works seamlessly.
That is one way to do it, but it would probably best to try either FAT32 or NTFS-3g first, since both are free whereas MacDrive is $49.95.
