I'm setting up a Macbook Pro 2.33GHz running Tiger 10.4.11 , for my daughter. All has gone well, I've installed FCP Studio Academic (shes studying Film and TV Production at Uni).
I purchased a supported true esata card and external 500GB esata /USB 2 drive.
The drive arrived with NTFS partitioning already in place.
I'd like to 1) Have 3 partitions on the drive. a) A bootable clone of HD1 b) 150 200 GB General Folder c) 150-200 scratch drive for Studio use under esata.
The idea being to generally run the drive as esata, but if things go wrong to be able to boot under USB .
Hope this is making sense.
I know I have to partition the drive or format the drive as GUID, but I'm not sure if the above is feasible, or in what order to do these things to make it work.
I've download CCC to make the clone with, I assume I use the Disk utility for the drive prep.
Will CCC be able to do the regular backing up to the clone via esata, Basically only use the USB as fall back in time of trouble.
Sorry but I'm a PC user, and this is my first foray to the Dark Side
Oh and do I use file or block cloning?
