i have this 250gb external harddrive thats in NTFS, but i want like 50gb's or 30gb's of that 250 to be FAT32 so it can be compatible with macs

can anyone tell me how i can do some sort of a split partition?

200gbs NTFS//50gbs FAT32

partition magic can split a drive into logical partitions.

and note, if your drive is 250GB, you wont get 200+50 exactly... you'll get something less. tongue.gif and btw, don't macs nowadays use HFS+ instead of FAT32? dont mind me...i dont own a mac... just curious.

yeh macs do run hfs, but fat32 is also compatible.

i heard that NTFS is 'read only' on macs D:
