Titolo: [TIP]partizioni NTFS/FAT/HFS+ su uno stesso disco

Mi serviva e ho risolto con questa guida... magari servirà a qualcun' altro.
-----------
I DID FIND A SOLUTION! At least one that worked for me.
I was using a 150 GB external HD and wanted one 80 GB HFS partition (to 
use for Time Machine), one 30 GB FAT32 Partition (to share between PC 
and Mac) and one 35 GB NTFS Partition (for PC files large than 4 GB).
I pluged in my external drive to a PC (I was loged in as an 
administrator) and turned the drive on to let Win XP regognize the 
drive. I used the Windows XP Disk Management tool in the Computer 
management program (Start>control panel>Administrative Tools>Computer 
Management) and located the drive.
Right click the drive and choose create partition... follow the wizard 
and create Primary partitions. Any partition over 32 GB will default to 
NTFS but that's ok. Assign a drive letter and name to each. I called the 
80 GB partition "HFS Volume" and formatted it NTFS (you will reformat it 
later but the name helps keep it straight as to what you will do with it 
later). I created another partition - a 30 GB partition (after... or to 
the right of the 80 GB one) named "FAT Volume" and formatted it as 
FAT32. Lastly I created a 35 GB partition named "NTFS Volume" and 
formatted it as NTFS. I did this on a PC first since Mac will recognize 
PC partitions but PC sometimes (or always) won't recognize Mac partitions.
Next take the drive to your Mac. Plug it in and turn it on. All 3 
volumes should mount and be visible. Go to Applications > Utilities > 
Disk Utility and open Disk Utility.
Locate your drive. Click on the volume you previously named "HFS Volume" 
that is actually formatted as NTFS. With your "HFS Volume" highlighted, 
click "Erase". Follow the instructions and reformat this Partition "HFS 
Volume" as Mac OSX Extended (Journaled). I chose not to zero out or do 
multiple overrights in the "secuity tab". Rename the Volume as "HFS 
Volume" again. Follow all the instructions and prompts and wait for the 
formatting to finish. You are done!
You should now have 1 external hard drive with 3 volumes: one HFS, one 
FAT32 and one NTFS. All done with no special software. The drive should 
be usable in both Mac and PC. Just remember: Mac and PC can both read 
and write to FAT32. Mac can read NTFS but not write to NTFS. PC can read 
and write to NTFS. Mac can read and write to HFS and you can use HFS for 
your Time Machine back ups and mac only type files. PC can do absolutely 
nothing with HFS - no read no write.
If you have any problems using the drive on PC... but you 
shouldn't...try switching the order of the partitions with the HFS 
partition in the middle.

Scusa ma il problema da risolvere qual era?
Voglio dire che lo stesso risultato lo ottieni da Disk Utility 
scegliendo la tavola delle partizioni BIOS e creando le partizioni che 
ti servono. Forse non puoi formattare quella NTFS, la formatterai la 
prima volta che usi il disco su Win.

Il problema è che in questo caso partivo da una macchina Windows, solo 
successivamente ho potuto fare il resto.
