[QUOTE="MACoroni, post: 1246990, member: 198984"] I want to make a small portion of an external hard drive fat 32 to make it writeable in mac os. I don't want to install any ntfs writing software or anything, just want to go with this simpler though not ideal solution. Disk utility shows a single partition scheme called 'new volume' in the drop down list under volume scheme when set to current. I can't resize this or edit the volume information or anything at all. It is NTFS formatted, does this make a difference for my ability to change the partition size? I want to avoid losing the data on the drive and so hoped to non destructively set aside a portion of the unused space for fat 32 but maintain the data already there. Is this doable? [/QUOTE]
