@AsamPlusONE is it at all possible to create put the windows partition on an external hard drive so my mac can run a window 7 through the external hard drive rather than consume space on my mac?
-
@tamaras82 Probably has to do with the partition table. Go to Disk Utility, click the disk and check what it says in the "Partition Map Scheme". As far as I know, Windows can only read hard drives that have either an MBR or GUID partition table, so not an "Apple partition table".

@valcarni1 Disk Utility? It comes with every Mac. Search for it in Spotlight, otherwise it will be under Applications. Good luck!

Oooh, I want to marry you. In a completely sane, "you just saved me a bitch of a headache trying to figure this out" way, not in a youtube-stalker kind of way. Thank you so much!!!

Hi again, I partitioned my new Toshiba Portable Canvio 1T hard drive into 4 partitions: 1 for my iMac Time Machine, 1 for my MacBook Time Machine, 1 for my PC back up, and 1 for my Media. The first 2 in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, and the second 2 in MS-DOS(FAT) format.
My problem is that my PC doesn't see my Media MS-DOS(FAT) partition (maybe because I already put some media from my Mac?). Is there a way to format again only this partition without loosing the data on the others?

@tamaras82 Hi, that shouldn't make a difference. Windows should pick up FAT32, regardless. I honestly dont know what to advise.
