Q: Unable to partition external hd

I have two HD with files in MS-DOS (FAT) format. But I have some files over 5gb, so I`d like to create a partition in exFAT, without loosing the original files (aka, without formatting the HD).

With one of them, when I use the Disk Utility, I can open the partitioning menu, but when I try adding a new partition (clicking on the + button) nothing happens! See the screenshot:

The other one doesn`t even let me open the partition menu (it`s grey, and I can`t click on it):

What should I do??

Thanks
