Couple of Questions along the way.
1. Do I select (Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility) or do I need to use Disc Utility from the Mac Installer Discs? I was always told you should always use Disc Utility from the installer discs. 2. Do I need to select "GUID" only because of the problems with the Western Digital Hard Drives. Is this just a precaution? A lot of instructions on the net don't include "GUID" in their instructions, so is it really necessary?What if I use a LaCie, do I still need to select GUID? 3. Here's what I read on the net regarding erasing the Hard drive before partitioning. "In versions of Mac OS X prior to 10.5, or when changing the partition scheme in Mac OS X 10.5, partitioning your hard drive with Disk Utility erases all the information on the drive. In Mac OS X 10.5, as an extra precaution, UITS recommends backing up all of your important files before partitioning your drive." I am running 10.5.4 so I don't need to erase anything before I format an External Hard Drive. Correct! Thanks ________ NaughtyChick4U cam Last edited by Paint Guy; 09-18-2011 at 02:44 PM. |
