if i'm switching from windows to mac, can I use this hard drive to transfer my music files to my mac?

I have about 4GB of music on my desktop and it's a Windows XP. I'm getting a Macbook soon, will I be able to use this hard drive to transfer the music over?

I am trying to find a configuration with an external hard drive for additional space and another for backup? Is this possible?

I have a MacBook Pro that is running out of space. I had a Time Capsule that never worked well and then died within 3 months. I don't want to go with this product again, so I was thinking a small portable hard drive (to store additional photos and videos) where I can work directly from that drive. And then a My Book that would back up the extra space drive and anything on my MacBook Pro. I can't seem to figure out whether this is possible. I'm looking for guidance on what to buy and how to set it up.

Do I need to leave this connected to my comptuer all the time. I want this just for back up and want to just connect when I add songs or photos

I know Time Machine auto backs up if I leave something connected to my computer but I never have. Don't want to spend the money on the Apple wifi product but don't want to have something connected to my computer all the time. I do want to be able to have a back up if something happens to my computer - the only real changes I make are adding photos and songs to my iTunes library. Having once had to recreate an iTunes library I don't want to do that again. Can I get this, back up my Mac and then disconnect it and simply reconnect it and back it up again say once a week or month or how ever often I want?

I am looking for a hard drive that will back-up both my mac files (pics & itunes) and win XP files ms,exc (from parallels on my mac & my PC at work)

can anyone recommend an external hard drive (1-2 TB) for both a mac and a pc (win XP). The PC files are on a separate computer at work and from my mac from parallels. I am not super computer literate and will pay more for something that is easier
