Macbook Pro and LaCie HDD

I bought a macbook pro a few months back and faced an issue where i was not able copy files to my Lacie BigDIsk HDD (500 GB). After doing some research i realised that it was due to a difference in the file structure between my windows formated HDD and my new macbook pro. My computer guy told me that i will have to backup my entire data , format the HDD and put the data back. But i leaned that by doing that, my HDD would be inaccessible on the windows XP laptop.

But i wasn’t going to give up , did a little research and found macFUSE. its enable the mac OS X to read and write on windows formatted HDDs. Its a free app on Google Code website. I will be attaching the location at the bottom of the post.

Have you had a similar issue, what did you tech support advise you ?
