Can I create a partition in a (used) external hard drive?
I have a 1 TB hard drive that is being used a lot. The format is NTFS or FATS, (sorry if those are not spelt correctly) windows hard drive. Anyways - there is like 400 gig spare. Can I simply go in and use gparted or something similiar and make a partition for a linux backup (which is ext4)
(I know this is a windows forum but u guys are the best! You are all v informed)
So basically from your experience if I do this is there a strong chance that the data on the drive will be hosed if I introduce a linux partition?
Thanks a lot
