Hey All
Tried looking this up, but didn't get what I'm looking for...
I've got a 80gb(Toshiba 80gb, 16mb cache Laptop drive)drive I'd like to Partition then Format so I can then in the future place in my Laptop. This is a FireWire drive setup.
When I connect the drive it asks to be int-ed, but from what I remember if I do this I Can't Partition it afterwords...
So How Do I Go About Doing This???
One other question, if the drive already has an OS on it, how do I go about Zeroing the Drive so I can Partition then format??? Just encase I somehow screw-up...hahaha
Thanks!!!
Brad

Hey Randman
I need the Partition for YellowDog Linux...Yea something more to play with...hahaha ,but also two of the programs I run everyday is complied in YellowDog Linux,and I've tried compiling in OS X and under X Windows(BSD) but it locks up for some reason, and the guy that made this went somewhere Off Planet... Nobody heard from him since he moved OverSeas...
I've got to ask one of the programmers to help, but as of now their really busy with the Next version of our Oracle Database, so I'm kind of stuck...
Have Great Holiday's!!!

Hey All
One more thing about this, when I see the External drive in Disk Utilities under Partition it shows Current, then Partition One(1) etc... If I do the first Partition(1) is this the Partition or the second Partition from the Boot Partition???
I want the Boot Partition to be the Biggest, and just 10gb's for the Linux Partition.
Have Great Holiday's!!!

Disk Utility should give you all the options you need. No?

Hey Randman
Disk Utilities does show me some things but, since this is the first time using OSX to Partition I'm kind of lost...
Partition under Disk Utilities shows me Partition 1- and Whatever.
Is Partition 1(One)the Boot Partition or the First Partition after the Boot Partition??? Thats what has me... Usually Partition 0 is the Boot Partition, and the others are Non-Bootable depending on OS and what software your using with that OS to make it Bootable.
I want a 10gb Partition for Linux and the rest for OSX, YellowDog will make it so I can Dual-Boot.
Boy... EveryBody must be out shopping... Your the Only Reply Randman. I don't understand people getting on you sometimes, you always seem to be on-line and have Great Answers, and sometimes Funny ones!!!hahaha
Thanks Again! for the Reply!!!
