Create an HFS+/NTFS/FAT32 external drive
Authored by: tatilsever on Apr 18, '08 09:34:34AM

If you don't need any partitions bigger than 32GB for FAT32 or HFS+, you can use Windows to create all of the partitions and then format NTFS (which can be quite large) and FAT32 ones inside Windows. Afterwards, format the partition(s) intended eventually to be HFS+ as FAT32 (again inside Windows.) Now when you connect the drive to a Mac, you can convert any of the FAT32 partitions into HFS+. Of course, it is annoying to have the limit of 32GB on FAT32 and HFS+ partitions if you use this method.
