[ale] Cross Platform File Systems (was re: external hard drive)

[Greg Freemyer]

Richard,

I wasn't trying to push windows.  I thought aaron had an issue seeing
a mac guid disk on a windows machine.  Seemed like a long term issue
so I was simply trying to let him know there were some windows
solutions out there.

Fyi: I run a 50-50 shop linux windows.  Lots of windows only tools in
my industry.  Computer 6orensics / e-discovery
