Hi, I"m new to the group and I have Scott Granneman to thank for that. Here's my first post: I'm trying to take an external USB 250GB hard drive and make 2 partitions (one for Mac and one for windows) It only seems to let me do both volumes in the same format. (I did this using Disk Utility for Mac) the built in Windows utility is a big pain so I haven't bothered with it really. want to make the Mac partition 200GB and windows for the remaining...
Here's what I tried as well: I used disk manager in Windows to make a 30 GB NTFS partition with the rest as free space then, I plugged it into the Mac and used disk utility (the NTFS volume showed up with 200 GB free space just as in Windows) to create a HFS+ [Mac OS extended (journaled)] partition on the remaining 200GB. The end result was 2 partitions, both HFS+ [Mac OS extended (journaled)]. Luckily I did not have anything on the NTFS partition. So it doesn't look like this scheme is going to work either. Any ideas? -- James http://blog.jamesrbritton.com/ _______________________________________________ CWE-LUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.cwelug.org/ http://www.cwelug.org/archives/ http://www.cwelug.org/mailinglist/
