[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1478946, member: 24160"] If Disk Utility is not allowing you to format, I would guess you are booted to that drive rather than the SSD. Hold the option key down when you boot the machine to select the SSD - "assuming" you have installed OS X onto the SSD. You should use the Partition tab in DU. Other includes the operating system files, email, documents, etc. Everything that is not music, video, apps, photos... You want to know what all is on your drive, grab [URL="http://whatsizemac.com"]WhatSize[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
