[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 966555, member: 131855"] Here's an explanation that might clear up a few things. [url=http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080411155517808&query=fat+32+and+hfs]Create an HFS+/NTFS/FAT32 external drive - Mac OS X Hints[/url]. Obviously you could avoid the FAT 32 partition unless you have a need for this. I suggest reading all of the comments. If I remember correctly one of the comments suggests an easier procedure. Back up your data before trying this. I don't think there was a way mentioned to recreate the partitions without trashing data. I tried the earlier version of this hint a while ago and it seemed to work OK although I sometimes had too manually mount the HFS+ partition. Haven't tried this hint yet. [/QUOTE]
