    HFS+ partition

    Hello,

    GParted doesn't support HFS partitions. which Linux distro do you have?
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    GParted doesn't have any tools built-in in GParted itself, you need the file system tools like xfsprogs, e2fsprogs, jfsutils, etc. I believe HFS+ tools doesn't exist at the moment on Linux, however I think HFS tools exist

    EDIT: I was wrong, try this HOWTO hfsplus - Gentoo Linux Wiki and this Ardis: HFS+

    Ive got Fedora 7.

    Anyway if there are no tools for Linux, can you suggest me one for windows?

    Id really like to make a Journaled HFS+ partition because I dont trust OS X installer anymore.

    I already posted a link to a page with instruction on how to install HFS+ tools on Linux, there's an specific part there for ANY distro, just look carefully.

    The only tool I can relate HFS+ to Windows is an HFS+ browser written in Java
