[QUOTE="krs, post: 1817102, member: 67742"] Thanks, Yes, the partitions are formatted as GUID, at least it says so when I select the whole external (and GUID is what I selected when I did the original partitioning) But if I select just one of the partitions and check Info it says file system OS X Extended and the File system UUID with a hex number next to it I read the MacWorld article - I get to the part where it says: In the new Disk Utility, you drag a handle around a circle and click the + button to add new partitions. OK - sounds good. Then in the article it shows the circle where one can change the size or add new partitions, but [B]how do I get to that circle[/B]? I must have clicked on every option I see in disk utility, none give me that window that is shown in the article. PS: I feel really stupid posting this - I'm sure I have seen the circle before when I was poking around on my Mac, but now can't get to it for love nor money. [/QUOTE]
