Partitioning External HD

[Krim911]

Hello,
I have an external HD that I need to put some files on. Right now it is in NFTS and I want to reformat into FAT32. I have two questions. I have a ton of music on the HD and have no where to put it. If I reformat, the music will get erased. Is there a way to partition the external HD and then reformat the partition to FAT32? Any help is appreciated.

I have an intel mac with snow leopard.

Just install MacFUSE and NTFS-3G. No need to reformat.

This is off-topic, but if that music is valuable to you, you ought to consider getting a _second_ external hard drive and back things up.

If something goes wrong with the external, you stand to lose everything.

Find yourself a "bare" hard drive, and consider getting one of these:
