Formatting And Partitioning Using Mac OS 10.x

Warning! Following these steps will erase anything that is on the hard drive. Therefore, if you have information that you want to protect or continue to use, backup this information before performing these steps.

1)Connect the drive to the computer via the USB 2.0 port.

2)Once the drive mounts onto the desktop, go to the Menu Bar, and open Go.

3)From the Go menu, click on Applications.

4)In the Applications menu, open the Utilities folder, and then double-click Disc Utility from the Utilities folder.

5)The Disc Utility window will open. In the

left side of the window will be a list of the available hard disk drives. You should see a volume that represents your internal hard drive, and one that reads LaCie.

6)Select the LaCie drive, and then click on the Partition tab.

7)From the Volume Scheme: button, choose the number of partitions you want to divide the drive into by clicking on the pull down menu starting with Current (Mac OS 10.x gives you the option of dividing the drive into at most 8 partitions). You can customize the size of the partitions by using the slide bar between the partitions in the Volume Scheme: area.
