Vu duo hdd question

Hi I have my vu duo set up with an external 500 gb hdd from and old skybox. I partioned it in 2 parts but when I plug it into the duo I need to initialise it and lose the partitions, my question is, is there anyway to keep both partitions. Record on one and put movies on the other? Thanks
