The most important thing is to have the correct icon selected in the "table"
of disks. Each physical disk will have at least two icons on the left, one
for the physical disk, and one for each partition. The partition tab at the
top only appears when you have selected the physical disk from the lis
Thanks. I'm looking there. I don't think I was on this list at that time. Oops?

Ok this is odd. I went to partition my 2tb external drive and I can't find the
partition button that the articles say should be there. Um? what the heck? I

ok,
a 32 bit OS will not be able to properly address a 2 TB drive without some
special drivers or perhaps making the cluster sizes (in windows) overly large
(in order to keep the cluster count within the supported addressable range). I
am not sure what OS X uses for this as I have never had to p
this on the Mac mini. Now I am using this for a

unless you have some significant issues,
you can single partition that drive (assuming you are using a 64 bit OS).
otherwise, I'd slice it down into 4 500 GB partitions. that generally makes the
cluster sizes a little smaller, and thus allows for better data storage.

Before you partittion the drive, you should consider the partitioning
scheme you want to use. There was a discourse about this on Tidbits
two or three years ago. I will be receiving a new disk shortly, and
will need to review all this too. I am getting one of those Western
Digital disks that ha

Hi,
You can partition the drive as you wish, NTFS GPT mac extended ect, but in your
partition scheme you should make it so that there are ways to write to the disk
from mac os as if you have them all in ntfs, you won't be able to write to them
through snow leopard.
