HI all, I had a disaster while traveling and here was/is the situation:
  1. MBP logic board fried.
  2. Purchased a MB (white 2.4) to use while waiting for apple to repair the mbp logic board.
  3. Took my time machine backup from mbp that i luckily had on an external, and put on the mb during the initialization process, worked great, yeah!
  4. I had a bootcamp partition on the MBP, and I now want that on the MB. But when I go to diskutil to do the partiioning, I dont get an option to repartition the 160 drive to add another smaller fat32...the only option is mac journaled.
What to do? How do I get a fat32 partition on this drive so I can reload the winclone backup of my XP stuff?
Thanks!!!
