It sounds it is the fat32 limitation, max. 32 gig for a filesystem.
Maybe a option to format the drive with ext3 as one 80 gig partition.
Use the Linux machine as a samba-server (smb) and make the external
drive a samba-share.
Point at the windo$ machine to the external drive.
If you are not familiar with samba, search at Google for "linux home
networking".
There is a site sounds like "linux-home-networking.org" or something
like that, which help you easily to setup a samba-server.
And use the swat-tool, that a very helpfull one.
Success

In linux it can read/write fine, but in windows... not. Maybe I did it
wrong. I'll try again.
I'm using windows in office, and linux at home. That why I need to
access the external hd from different os.
Try using (from linux)
mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/sda1
to create your filesystem. Obviously this will depend on your hardware
path, and remove any existing data on that partition.
Works for me
