[Avid-L2] Re: Partitioning Redux

I took my 500 gig internal drive on my macbook pro and dragged the slider in disk utility to make it a 250 gig partition and then created a second 250 gig partition. I haven't made it a second start up drive yet. With this process I could create a third partition but how would I format it for Vista? It's been a while since I split the drive in to two partitions but I don't recall having an option to create an NTSF volume for the second partition. Am I missing something in disk utility. Basically can I take my second partition and reformat it to NTSF using disk utility.
