Create HFS+ and FAT32 partitions on one external drive.
IT WORKS!!!
I have absolutely ZERO knowledge of the UNIX command line, but I followed Silentaccord's instructions and it WORKED! They were very well written, and I was not confused for one minute...except at the end. In the post, it said after you finish the commands in , you can "verify what you've entered using the command. After that, you can use the command to write to the partition table.However, when I use the command, it mounted the disks, causing the following error:
This would throw me out of fdisk, and while the Mac could read the disks fine, Windows XP saw it as unformatted.I slowed down, got some lunch, and when I came back, I started the process again, but this time I didn't type . I went straight to and everything worked PERFECTLY.I now have a 100GB FAT32 partition for Win/Mac and a 60GB HFS+ partion exclusively for my iBook. Thanks everyone on a thorough, well documented thread! --- |
