I thought this would be easy, but I seem to be going in circles with this: I just got a 200 gig USB drive (I really need to find an eBay Recovery group :) ), and wanted to partition it into two partitions--one for me and the Mac, one for someone else and a peecee. Both partitions show formatted MS-DOS--how do I format partition #2 for MacOS, or should I just leave it as MS-DOS and store/copy my mac files to it? (I plan on using it mostly to just back up my PB's hard drive.)
The disk utility will let you partition internal or FireWire drives and assign whatever format you wish to each partition. Not sure if it works on USB drives or not. I have three external FireWire drives, but no USB drives. It must be USB 2 it's going to be really slow doing data transfer.
