The Mac and PC use different formats. The only common format is FAT32 but you can't format a 1T drive in VISTA unless you use a DOS command. You will need to reformat the Mac volume (with loss of all data) and partition and format in Vista.
I suggest you use the free disk tools from www.easeus.com to delete the Mac partition and format it in FAT32. Or you can try the following:
Since I have both PC and Mac, I need to format the hard drive in FAT32 filesystem and by Windows Vista's disk management, it doesn't give you the option to format with FAT32, only in NTFS. That's no good because Mac cannot write to NTFS, it can only read the filesystem. With some Googling, there is a turnaround to this. The command line is your solution.
1. Go to `run' from the start button and type `cmd' to bring up the command window.
2. Type this in the command line: format (Drive letter): /FS:FAT32
for the E drive it would be E: /FS:FAT32
That's all! The format process will take a while, at least it will give you the percent it's completing at.
Good Luck
