Hi there!
I'm a newbie with Mac OS X, and I've a question about creating partition.
I want to create a new partition with my MacBook Pro to keep my personal data so that they will be fine and untouched even if I erased Lion system and install a clean one.
I'm wanna know:
- What need I notice during creating a new partition?
- What's the difference between Mac OS Extended Journaled and not?
Is it OK for me to choose the "Mac OS Extended (not Journaled)" format partition to just keep my personal data?
- Once new partition created, is it safe to erase the partition where Lion system is on and install a whole new system?
- Is there any cons to having a new partition on Mac OS?
THX a lot!
