External HD Partitioning?

[racerman]

Can I partition an external HDD in Linux? And will the external HDD work properly?

[Jordan]

Yes, you can. Use gparted if you want a graphical partition manager. It will work fine. If you format it using EXT or a Linux/Unix filesystem type Windows will not be able to read/write to it. Keep that in mind.

I would like to know the simple proceedure of partitioning the Exrernal hard drive. Can anybody make that proceedure clear??

[racerman]

Yeah, do I partition that as a normal internal HDD? I don't want to mess it up!

I don't know if it makes any difference, but it uses USB.
