[QUOTE="Akboy, post: 1488688, member: 76391"] I'm trying to create a second partition, but the disk utility window is confusing. [ATTACH=FULL]18619[/ATTACH] What happens if I hit 'Apply'? I have more than enough room for a 60GB partition, but the text is kind of scary. "To erase and partition the selected disk . . ." Does that mean the files on my HD wold be erased if I make the partition? If so, is there a way to make a partition without erasing what's already on the HD?
