[QUOTE="bmcgonag, post: 451829, member: 29816"] I also would do it that way. Open Disc Utility, under /Applications/Utilities Select the external hard drive from the menu of drives on the left, then select partition. In the main body of the window there should be a drop down. You should choose '2' partitions. Rename them to something that helps you remember what they are, and size them accordingly (120 GB named 'OS X Backup', and the rest as 'Data Stores'). Then click the 'Partition' button at the bottom. WARNING: This will erase anything you may currently have on the drive. Also, the Partition type should be set to 'HFS+ Mac OS Journaled', probably that way by default. After the reformat, you are ready to go. Best, Brian [/QUOTE]
