I know that this subject has been beaten to death, but im planning on getting an external hard drive (at least 250GB) to back up important school/work files form my MacBook Pro.
I heard that you need to format it in FAT32 to be able to use it in both Windows and OS X.
My question is: If I format my 250 gig hard drive into FAT 32, will my Windows machine (or my MacBook Pro with Bootcamp) only read 32GB from the disk?
If so, is there a way to split the 250GB hard drive into any number of 32GB or less partitions?
Answers would be greatly appreciated.
