[QUOTE="hoody, post: 1819641, member: 290804"] I'm not sure this is the right place but I've just bought a WD My passport 4TB external drive for my iMac with Mojave 10.14.3. I went to disc utilities and clicked on erase, picked MS-DOS (Fat32) and then I think I must have clicked on the 'GUID Partition Map.' Can I erase and then reformat it to OS extended (journaled) as it now says I've used 2.2 TB's and Have 1.8 left. I do want to partition the disc but I can't alter anything as it is. [COLOR=rgb(41, 105, 176)]Ps: I've blundered in and erased what I think is the partition, but now the disc utility is telling me that I have no space left.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#FF0000]Second edit: I can't believe it but I've done it. Got the thing working properly now; three partitions and at the moment, I've got the time machine doing a huge back up.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
