No. I mean, the data are in my mac.. i want to export it out to transfer to Windows pc. I already have external backup in mac backup.. but then it is read only in windows, cant copy the whole thing into windows

a bit confused here...
since you mention it's Read only in Windwos, you should be able to copy it out (cant write to it only)

it might be a pain now, but try to format (involve copying back and forth from mac/PC) your external hdd into exFat.

easier for future compatibility between windows and Mac

if in Windows, it don't allow you to paste a file (from ext hdd) larger than 4gb. this would be your Windows Partition issue.
nothing to do with your ext hdd
