I am currently trying to get my iMac to use another external hard drive. The new, but used and now cleaned, hard drive has what appears to be three 'partitions' all labelled S DUPER; it is a 1tb Lacie solid state drive. My present Super Duper hard drive is a 250gb solid state hard drive which I feel is nowhere near large enough. That being so I thought as I had found the 1tb drive in my PC cupboard I would use that as back up. Oh the plans of mouse and man can often go astray! My iMac sees the Lacie drive but I cannot get it to use it as the 'new' back up drive, it appears to have three partitions on it all labelled S DUPER, I can re-label them but not blend them into one and I cannot blend the three partitions because I have no idea as to how to do that. Once I have found out how to do that HOW do I get my iMac to recognise the 'new' hard drive for S DUPER. This could be in the wrong place, if so feel free to move it but keep me informed please.
Very best regards from Keith in Derby England.
