Check out EASEUS, on their website under downloads there is a partition manager that can create multiple kinds of partitions. For example, I already created a 100GB FAT32 partition on my 500GB external. I'm pretty sure you don't have to format or lose any data but it's been a while since I did so I can't really remember too well.

I think you need to upgrade your current operating system to create new partitions. Anyway it is better to have the help from experts, since you have to save your data.
Or else post the same issue to the OS provider.
