Drive Partition and Format
I have this issue with my external NTFS windows drive. OS X sees the 610GB disk, the 60GB of windows data with 560gb free space, and a separate 16gb recovery disk. I can not partition the additional 560gb of additional free space as the partition tab is grayed out. Do I need to attempt to add a partition on a windows based device disk manager for FAT? Or will I need a third party software?
