Creating HFS partition on NTFS drive with Disk UtilitY?

[shyamkolangara]

Hello,

Sorry I am new to mac. I want to know if it is possible to create a HFS partition on an NTFS drive using Disk Utility without having to erase the data? I have a 750 GB NTFS external drive with only 250 GB of free space. I want to create a 40 GB HFS drive so I can use Time Machine on it. I can read/write to my drive because of NTFS 3G/mac Fuse. If there is a way to use Time Machine on NTFS, please tell me about that.

Thank u

Time Machine requires HFS+. It won't work with NTFS. You should be able to create a partition and format it HFS+.
