Just to see if I've got it right now: I have an unused Maxtor USB HD (OneTouch III Mini Edition -- not Firewire but it should still work) that's pre-formatted for a PC (meaning it's FAT32-formatted, I guess?). So to use it for backups for my Intel MacBook internal HD, I should run Disk Utility and: (i) reformat the Maxtor drive as an HFS+ drive, and then (ii) partition it using GPT (or GUID). And then I'm good to go (i.e., I can actually do the backup) - ? |
