I want to FDisk a 60 Gig HD into two partitions, and format them as Fat32. I plan to do the Fdisk/format job in a drawer, as a slave in my P4 XP SP2 NTFS machine.  Then I want to put the new drive in an external USB case and use it with a variety of machines, one is PII, one PIII. They are of limited drive capacity but I know will read 30Gigs. I'm hoping they will read the 60 Gig external USB drive as two 30 Gig drives.

Does all this sound possible and what problems am I likely to have?
Can I Fdisk and format from XP command prompt or do I need a boot disk?
I've never made two partitions on a drive before.
Need all the help I can get  :o)
Thanks, Bob
