Not possible. Partitioning it will erase the drive. If you don't need PC access anymore, you can copy the files to your machine and then repartition the drive.

There aren't any 3rd party apps or anything. I use PC's and Mac's at school and the only computer connected to a printer at my house is a PC so i need access to both
