I've just brought a 200 gig IDE drive for use as a backup unit. It's going to be placed in a USB caddy I've also brought.
The primary use of the drive will be for my main workstation which is XP but I'd also like to be able to use the drive with macs. From what I've read macs can't see NTFS partitions only FAT32 which would mean me having to divide the drive up I guess.
However I've also read that FAT32 can only be patitioned into 32gig chunks? Is this true?
If so is there any other ways for making the drive useable by both a pc and mac? Ideally I'd like to divide the drive up 50/50 is this possible?
Any advice appreicated.
