The HFS+ Disk Manager gives you the ability to create and delete partitions on Mac-formatted hard drives.
|
When using HFS+ Disk Manager, make sure to note the following:
|
While you can leave part of a disk unused (called Unallocated space by HFS+ Disk Manager), you will not be able to make a PC partition or volume (FAT, FAT32, NTFS, or otherwise) in the unallocated space. The only thing you can do with unallocated space is to make additional Mac partitions in it in the future, or simply leave it unused.
|
|
|
You cannot use HFS+ Disk Manager to add a Mac partition to a PC-partitioned disk. Using Mac HFS+ Disk Manager on a PC-partitioned disk will destroy all PC partitions.
|
|
|
You cannot use Mac HFS+ Disk Manager to resize a partition and retain its contents. The only way to resize a partition is to delete and recreate it at a different size, which will result in the loss of any files in the original partition.
|
|
|
Mac HFS+ Disk Manager works only with fixed hard drives; it cannot be used to partition removable disks.
