So i have a 1 TB Seagate external hard drive, and i want to partition it so that 200 gb is FAT32 for use with a mac, and the rest in NTFS for use with my Windows XP system.

Can anyone tell me the easiest way to do this?

Windows XP Professional

The easiest way I know how to do it is with a mac. If you go into utilities then disk utility select your drive and the partition tab.
