[QUOTE="Noels, post: 685388, member: 49942"] faylinks, You need a good backup program to do what you're asking. My preference to do that is to use SuperDuper which maintains all the settings and preferences and also makes the backup bootable. You can get a free download here: [url]http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html[/url] . Then if you want all the other features (like scheduling, etc.), you could buy the full featured version later on. After you make a full backup on your external hard drive using SuperDuper, you can partition your Mac hard drive the way you want and format it in Mac journaled, knowing that you have a good backup to restore... Then put your SuperDuper backup on your hard drive and you're back in business with a partitioned drive. To do that you just use your Mac install disk and start your machine, holding down the C key. Then select Disk Utility, choose your backup hard drive with SuperDuper and restore, that simple. Good luck, Noel [/QUOTE]
