[QUOTE="neocortex, post: 1804325, member: 400945"] chscag, I actually found an old 500 GB HD I had in storage, (when I bought it, it was $100...that's how OLD IT IS ;)...still has about 150GB free space. So just I am clear...I am going to: 1) copy my 100 GB over to the smaller HD 2) Erase/reformat my 3TB HD back to MacOS Extended (Journaled) format [or is it HFS<<<or is that the same thing?] 3) Encrypt my HD again...? Does the encryption come off after erasing? if 3 is true, then 4) Encrypt the HD with FileVault...? is file vault on the operating system or is that separate software? SORRY for all the NEWB questions =0 ... I am learning! [/QUOTE]
