[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1214001, member: 46727"] These questions really should be separated and posted accordingly in the proper forums, however, let's see if we can briefly answer them here. 1. In order to partition or remove a partition from an internal boot drive, you first must start the machine with your recovery - install DVD. Enter Disk Utility, select partition, and then remove the unwanted partition by selecting it and pressing - (minus). Then grab the partition line with your mouse and drag it down until it encompasses the entire disk. Save, apply. Reboot the machine. 2. You need to tell us what the Goflex drive is formatted as. It sounds like it may be formatted to NTFS which would not allow you to write to it without a special driver. Or, if it's formatted as FAT-32, the movie file(s) are larger than 4 GB. Which again, would not allow you to write to the drive as FAT-32 is limited to a single file size of ~4 GB. [/QUOTE]
