Is there any reason why I wouldn't be able to on a 500GB external USB drive create three partitions, two NTFS and one HFS partition? Would Windows freak out about multiple partitions like that? I've had issues when writing to NTFS on my Mac (lost some files on a USB disk) and as a result would prefer to not rely on writing to NTFS partitions through OS X...hence an HFS partition.
No FAT because of the file size limitation.
EDIT: My Google-fu indicates that as long as it's a hard drive, you can have multiple partitions. USB flash drives are SOL. Have a 500MB TrueCrypt partition, 500MB HFS partition, and the remainder as NTFS.
