Create HFS+ and FAT32 partitions on one external drive.
Authored by: Agundaba on Feb 10, '04 07:00:31PM
I set up a 120GB disk on Oxford 911 chipset as well laid out by anonymous but encountered a few difficulties later on.

1) The HFS+ partition used to show up in disk utility, ready to be mounted. However, terminal must now be used to mount the partition each and every time the drive is attached.

2) Is it just me or does this cause a significant slowdown in the transfer rate of data now that there's now more than just HFS+ partitions? For me, things have seemed to slow down considerably when transferring files etc. to and from the external.

3) I would love to find out how to adjust the spin down/sleep time for this drive separate from my internal. It hurts to wake this drive up so often.

Any advice?
