    Partition Magic is good. You can also try Paragon Partition Manager. I switched to it after I found out you can actually switch file systems w/o formatting. Was pretty nice for me when I had my 1tb external as NTFS and fat32 (for pc and wii). All i had to do was change the file system and make me a games folder. Didn't have to migrate anything

    Can you not partition the drive into fat32 and ext3 or ntfs? 500Gb fat32, 500Gb ntfs or ext3? or create 3 partitions?

    At some point you will need the ability to handle and store files over 4Gb, I've had my external hdd like this from the start.

    I don't think it is wise to keep all your partitions to just fat32.

    Just my 2 pence worth.
