Hi there
I just got a 2010 MBP '13 a month ago, and i already pretty much filled up the 250gb HDD..
I also have a 1tb HDD which has 500gb data in it (from me, and both my parents). I am the only one to have a mac for now My dad might get a mac sometime in the nearish future...
The 2tb is currently FAT32 and all the files are not crazy important - but they are files that i would not like to spend 1 year re-downloading...
I also want to use (part of?) it for backing up with Time Machine

So is there anyway I can make a FAT32 partition into a HFS+ without losing data? or better is there a way i can Shrink the FAT 32 partition and repartition the 2nd part into a HFS+ for time machine?

THanks
