Partially format hard drive (PS4)?

Re
- in PlayStation

I want to pull down in-game recordings on a hard drive. I have to format this to use it on the ps4 and everything on the hard drive is deleted if I don't transfer it to the pc beforehand

Is there any way that I format half of the storage space (for me 1TB) for the Ps4 and thus I do not have to move or delete any files on the hard drive?

Because you need partition manager that is to divide the FB into further partitions and then format them.

but first make backup of the complete FB if it does not work so that data can be restored

Do you happen to know how I make sure that the ps4 recognizes and uses this partition?

No sorry don't have a PS4. But there have been many similar questions
