in conclusion, it wasnt me, it was a friend.
anyways, I found this sofware:

anyone knows if it is any good?
also, I found this info:
First, a warning! If you have a Mac and think about partitioning a hard drive, be warned that it is not possible to have HFS- and non-HFS partitions on the same disk! The reason is that HFS writes some information on the sectors of the hard drive where the partition table is usually located. There is a warning in the small print in the Mac help. But: If you have a disk that is already partitioned, say, with three FAT32 partitions, you can select one of them in the disk utility and try to format it with HFS. The disk utility will allow this without any warning! However, it will fail soon with an error message, but then it is already too late: The partition table has been destroyed, and you cannot mount any partition on that drive any more.
