    Sorry if this has been asked, i couldn't find it searching... Does anyone know how to partition an external USB HD without erasing the data on the drive? I have about 250GB free that I'd like to convert for Time Machine but I can't lose the data.

    Anyone got any solutions?

    erm thats a windows app^^ i assume the OP meant a Mac OS X app presumably because this is a mac forum ;)

    try leopard's disk utility you can live parition without erasing data or you can use ipartition.
