Ok guys I have bought a external hard drive and now I would like to partition 100 GB for OS X and 10GB for XP and the rest just for general storage. My question is, can I use disk utility to format the external drive (to remove all that crappy backup software) by the way which format does disk utility format in MS-DOS mode, FAT32 right? Anyways, after formatting the drive, I'll partition 100 GB using HFS+ (journaled) for OS X. I would also like to boot from the drive in case of an emergency of something, so I guess I can, by pressing the option key I have an intel mac and usb external drive.
Thanks for reading.
