[QUOTE="Kilted1, post: 354584, member: 21046"] Well I had some time on my hands and have fumbled with the disk. I didn't know what to re format the disk as so I went for GUID partition Table. But when I went to re install the Button manager the software installer shows me a picture of my HD and the Ext HDD however this has a Red Exclamation mark on it . It won't let me install the software there only on my internal disk. I tried a home folder back up with .Macs Backup and that went OK until I had to eject the disk...It wouldn't, saying close all applications first. I re booted my Mac and now it dismounts ok..... Question What is the best Partition format for the disk: Mac os Extended Journaled (The one I choose) Mac OS extended Mac Os Extended case sensitive Unix file system Free space Ms Dos file system (Non starter that one I think) Any help would be great.
