iPartition - Resize disk partitions without formatting
Authored by: moike on Jan 07, '05 01:11:36AM

dksp,

You mention you "... partition my external hard disk in order to have 2 partitions on it. One big in HFS+, and another small one - 1GB in my case - formatted as FAT32 where I put the Mac Drive installer. That way I'm prepared when I get to a Windows machine."

This is EXACTLY what I'm trying to do, but thought it impossible, by the way Macs require Apple partition maps, and PCs can't read them, so I thought it possible to only partition that way, but not be able to actually format and use different partition maps on diff. systems.

Am I missing something here? Are you saying you actually do this, and how? I'd be very greatful if you shared.

Thanks
