RE: Can You Partition External Hard Drive

The short answer is yes. Using a third party partitioning tool would be
recommended.

Hi

Is it possible to partition a USB External Drive to have both a FAT32
and NTFS partition? My TV only recognized FAT32 and I want to play
MP3's / show pics on the TV but use the more stable NTFS file system
to store my other files.

Will Windows XP recognize both drives? If its of any help I use the
USB interface.

Thanks
