(I'm not sure if pdisk is incluced in the standard OS X installation or if it requires the xtools package, so this may possibly not work for you.) Open the Terminal and type 'sudo pdisk'. Then, after entering your administrator password, type 'L' (Without the quotes, of course!) as the top-level command. It will give you the size and locations of all partitions on all your disks that are recognized by the system that are partition with the Apple Partition Map, which yours probably are. SInce it only has to read a tiny portion of the beginning of the disk, it will not be affected by the 128GB limit. The names of the partitions may not be the same as their current names in the Finder, but if you know the approxiamate sizes of the various volumes, you can probably figure out which is which. BTW, although pdisk can be a dangerous utility if you use it to alter a disk by editing and writing to it, just looking at what's already there can't do any harm. - Aaron --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
