Debaser626 is on a distinguished road
While Macs do see and access FAT32 drives, it's not a "perfect" union. They generally play better with the Mac journaled formatting, though I haven't really seen it to be an issue. And as far as I know all drives can be corrupted as long as they are mounted. When you suddenly remove a drive (i.e. computer crashes) you can damage the directory. Which is precisely why you should always eject a drive instead of just disconnecting the USB or Firewire cable. But, I must profess, I am unfamiliar with the Windows environment.
