This 2 TB is kind of going to waste, even with all my ps3 backups so I figured I'd throw some of my Wii backups on to it as well. Thing is PS3 reads FAT32 so the drive is formatted as such, but the Wii reads NTFS.

My question, how do I create two partions on the drive? one FAT32 and one NTFS and can I do so without a complete format? I really don't want to clear the space on my pc HD just to store the PS3 games for a few minutes while the external is doing it's thing.

Thanks Smile

Your only option would really be to send them over to your PC for the time being, I've never tried partitioning a drive while it's occupied and i would take a guess and say you could potentially screw up the games or render the HDD unusable. This program however should suit you well though in partitioning that drive.
