Hi All,
In another thread, I've been asking about making a bootable clone of my iMac & MacBPro using CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) & a single external HD w/ 2 partitions.
Today I received my new 1 TB OWC HD and am already having questions - using Disk Utility, I made 2 equal partitions (the utility seemed to not let be make unequal partitions - is that correct?) - below are 3 pics showing the overall HD & the 2 partitions labeled w/ my two computers. The partitions are shown to be formatted appropriately, BUT the HD still states FAT 32 - is this expected or should the latter also show the Mac OS format?
So before I go ahead and start cloning & testing, I just want to make sure that the external HD is ready? If not, please explain how to get this right. Thanks!
