    Hello,

    Is there currently a way to mix partition types?
    I would like to have windows and amiga partitions on the same external usb backup drive.
    If
    I make the drive RDB and add a FAT partition then windows 7 cannot see the FAT partition.
    If I make the drive MBR then I cannot add a SFS partition.

    Goal:
    1 partition SFS for amiga backups.
    1 partition NTFS/FAT for windows use.
    Need amiga to see amiga partition.
    Need windows to see windows partition.

    Any way to do this?

    yes, it is doable, there was an article in polish magazine "Magazyn Amiga" about this many years ago. RDB can start after MBR so hd can have two disk layout.
