Please do review the information in the Spatial Task View at your nearest 
CRAN mirror, many of your questions are answered there. In this case, see 
the drivers supported in the rgdal package with:

ogrDrivers() # for vector
gdalDrivers() # for raster

You need to avoid the Idrisi vector format, which is as bad as ArcGIS' 
personal geodatabase, and is a customised Access database:

If you need this under Windows, you'll have to build rgdal from source. 
Store vector data in something for which OGR has solid read and write 
drivers available for your platform.
