large portable hard drives image

I just want to save a ton of files from my MAC to my portable hard drive and if possible, also save files from my PC. I was told the hard drive can be 'partitioned' but have no idea how. I'm fairly clueless regarding all things tech so please use keep it simple LOL.
Answer
You have two options.
1) You can format the drive to FAT32 (MS-DOS in OSX) to make it both PC and Mac compatible. This will allow it to be used on both types of system without partitioning. This is the best option, except that this format won't allow file transfers of single files larger than 4GB in size.
2) You can follow the link below to learn how to use Disk Utility to partition your drive, created two partitions on the one drive, format one for Windows(NTFS) and one for OSX(Max OS Journaled). This will give you storage space for both Operating Systems, but you wouldn't be able to copy items between the systems. By default, OSX cannot read and write a NTFS drive, and Windows cannot read and write to a Mac OS Journaled drive.

Is there a way to install MS Visual Studio Express on a portable hard drive so I can run the program @ work?

We have Windows 7 at work and I don't have administrator access. I was wondering if I could install on my portable hard drive (not a usb), to practice creating practice c++ programs from work. Does anybody know if and how this can work?
Thanks.

No I'm afraid not, VSE needs to be installed,it load a large number of DLL's and other tools in to the system directories and modifies the registry. You would be better off using eclipse and gcc which can both be configured to run without being installed.
