Wondering if Snow Leopard/Disk Utility has any improvements on this score.

Takes a great deal of time and some things need fixing after completion.
PARTITION EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE MAC AFTER USE AS TIMEMACHINE HOW TO
I have not figured out how to get Leopard restored short of format, then complete (re)install with Time Machine restore kicking in at the end of that process. BKF but think it requires an OS - unlike Vista + Windows 7 where the install Disk will retore from External in ~30 minutes. BKF string of the hard drive, runs maybe a little slower than Vista & Windows 7 Backup/Restore Maint. Also available from Microsoft if no install CD. Under External in the left hand menu, click on your external hard drive and then click on the Erase. To do this, open Disk Utility and connect the drive to your Mac. The file format has to be Mac OS X Journaled and you have to use the GUID partition map. On Windows side, is Vista, W7 (32 &64Bit) and recently my daughter's HP Laptop XP which posed a problem until I found that NtBackup.Msi was in VALUEADD folder on the Windows XP install CD. The first thing you’re going to need to do is format the external hard drive properly. If you need a simpler format tool to format USB or external hard drive to FAT32 on a Windows computer so to make it work on Mac, you can apply a third-party format tool for help.

Format USB or External Hard Drive for Mac on a Windows PC. Setup on my Acomdata 7200rpm External is Mac 150GB HFS, Windows 150GB NTFS. After this, you can use your USB on Mac in a detectable and readable format now. If you're going to use the drive on both platforms, does it need to be set up first on the PC, allocating 1/2? to Windows NTFS format, then disable/reset/delete Time Machine backups doing the Mac HFS format thing on remainder of External?
