[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1528429"] For your question about partitions, OSX, as chscag noted, already partitions your internal hard drive for its own uses. Messing with the partitioning on internal drives will upset what's there and may cause you some problems down the road. I second his suggestion to leave the internal drive alone. (One of those internal drive partitions is called "recovery" and is there so that if the installation of OSX gets messed up somehow, you can boot from the recovery partition and reinstall OSX without losing much data at all. That's a very nice function and one you don't want to mess with. [/QUOTE]
