Best External Hard Drive For Time Machine
How can I share my hard drive?
I have an external hard drive. It is a c. soup. I am trying to divide the hard drive into two disks. I know I need to partition it but I love some advice on how best to do so. Currently, he is FAT 32 and I need to keep this party and then make a NTFS + on the other. The partition I am trying to create will be used for Time Machine on my mac. And I need to do on a mac.
Open Disk Utility on the Mac and connect your player. Click the drive when it appears on the left. On the right side, you should see a Sheet tab. Click on this and you can now create as many partitions as you want. By default, when you select 2 partitions, it also divides them. Use the slider to change the size of each partition. Once you've set, click on the first partition and choose Mac OS Extended for the format and click Apply. For the second, just choose the free space to format and click Apply. Once this is done, you going to have to plug the drive into a Windows machine to format the partition to NTFS others. I suppose, since you want NTFS, you have access to a Windows machine. You will then have your disk configured as you want. But my advice is that you keep the second FAT32 partition and not NTFS. The reason for this is because it is a disk external hard and I suppose you intend to transfer files from a Mac to a PC and vice versa. If I'm right, then you go to have problems later because, although Mac can read (and copy) NTFS drives, it can not write them. FAT32 is recognized across the board.
