Well try it first in that size maybe portioning it is not necessary .

But have you tried to see if even not portioning it will save the files you wanted to save?

When I got my LaCie 1TB hard drive, a wizard partitions it into
30GB FAT 32 & the rest is NTFS.

I'm curious, what are you going to save from the WII.

UK MP's are thieving scumbags.
EU members are worse.
