My new Mac is an Intel.

#1. Do I repartition the drive after I migrate?

#2. After repartition as GUID/GPT, will I then lose all the information there?

#3. After repartition, do I then point SD to one of the partitions on the drive?

I am backing up now, off schedule, to see if I get any more error messages.

Thanks a million Dave.
