Hi Adam

I'm not sure of any freeware or shareware partitioners offhand, but, if
you can find the patch for Apple HD SC Setup which allows it to recognise
non-Apple HDs, you could then use it to partition the drive. The latest
version (7.3.5) can easily do multiple partitions (from the Partition
dialog, then press Custom button). Earlier versions would prolly work with
the patch and the Setup Partitions program (available in the disk
directory of an info-mac archive near you).
