You can make partitions using drive setup too... I know they USED to be popular because apple's drive setup only supported apple drives (with the ROM) and wouldn�t recognize 3rd party drives... So hard drives usually shipped with a "lite" version. I know way back someone even went as far as to create a "crack" for drive setup which let it see 3rd party drives... Same used to happen with 3rd party CD drives, and kind of like how CD-R drives still come with toast (this may start to change with how you can burn directly in macos X?). -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
