Hey and thanks for clicking in.
I've tried searching and found a decent article:
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/partitioning_tiger.html
But can't seem to figure this out.
I just received a 500gb WD Mypassport and was wondering how I could go about partitioning it for Windows/Mac/Everything else.
So, I've got bootcamp on my macbook and use it to run AutoCad in windows, I need to back up those drawings. How would I go about formatting my external HDD such that I can have 3 partitions;
1. About 450gb for Time Machine backups in Mac OSX
2. About 15gb for backing up my Windows stuff
3. And maybe 35gb that can be accessed in any OS, like a huge USB stick type thing, so I can transfer movies from a Ubuntu machine to my mac or something like that.
I understand they won't be exactly that due to formatting, etc. but ballpark figures.
I've tried reading up on this stuff but am a bit confused by all the FAT32 stuff, whatever that means.
Thanks for your help,
-Steve
