[QUOTE="rjholi13, post: 1616146, member: 336546"] When I connect the old hard drive via the USB port and open Disk Utility, I only have the "First Aid" and "Partition" options. There is no option to "Erase", which is odd because I have the option to erase the new hard drive that I installed. Ok, now that I take a closer look, I see on the left hand column of Disk Utility that there is a list of each drive and a subset of each partition. Is that correct? It seems I can erase the partition, but not the entire hard drive. Does that make sense? [/QUOTE]
