Use Disk Utility on the Mac to partition using FAT32. The drive can be used by both Macs and PCs. Back up anything on the HD you want to bring back. You will see the option for journaling. If you use the external drive only for backup, forget journaling. If you will be using the HD as the primary location for files and be updating them, then it is best to journal. > > Also, I want to repartition the HD that has the OSX OS.
