Yes. But you will lose all data on your HFS+ partition. You should be
able
to do :
/sbin/mke2fs /dev/hdb6
Will i only lose data on that specific partition? That partition is
actually empty, but i have much data on the 7 other partitions on the
disk that i would rather not lose, or jeopardize.
(Also, for my clarity, it's the 6th partition on a entire hfs+ disk, so
i think the hdb# will be 14, - usually Apple eats up the first 8 with
some type of automatic formatting, so the First partition able to be
used on a disk of this type is 9)
