[QUOTE="Spikey, post: 1026933, member: 148255"] ok thanks folks for all the help. My external has ... Partition Map Scheme : GUID Partition Table Write Status : Read/Write Total Capacity : 500.11 GB (500,107,862,016 Bytes) and yet when I try to install something on it, I get the message that i cant because its needs a drive with the Mac OS installed on it to install???? So if apps work fine anywhere, how do i configure an external hard drive to allow installs to it? [/QUOTE]
