Hello:
I’m sorry, I should have been more specific. I know about disc Utility
and choosing my drive and the partition tab under the tool bar. I don’t
understand the new lay out and can’t find where to choose how many
partitions I want. All I see is partition pie chart view group and the drive
info and an add button/ remove/ cancel and apply buttons. Where do I choose
how partitions I want?
Thanks Patricia
