Partions and External Drives

Spike88 · 08-08-10, 01:23 AM

I would like to back up my Ps3 so I can keep my save files if it decides to bite the bucket. The process is fairly simple, expect for the fact that the external hard drive you back up too needs to be in FAT32.

My 500 gig HD which has about 300 gigs of free space is NTFS. My questions are:
1. Is it possible to make a FAT32 partition in an NTFS drive?
and 2. Is it possible to make a partition without deleting the other content on the drive?

I do not have the room to back up my external HD to my computer(although I'm backing up the hardest stuff to replace which comes in at around 58 gigs)(I had 59 gigs free before backing up said data

)
