I have been using Extended and Journaled. The only "option" choice I see is under the erase tab, and that's for zeroing etc. Should I use a different version of Disk Utility? I'm using version 10.4.4, thanks, Roman


Those are not partition schemes, but directory formatting schemes.

Start Disk Utility and select the Drive, not the Volume on the left..the drive will be names something like "233GB Maxtor..." and the Volume will be whatever your disk is called in the finder.

Click on the Partition tab in Disk Utility, then select a Volume Scheme from the drop-down menu, (away from Current).

Then you can click the Options button below.

In 10.5 I'm given a choice of GUID, Apple Partition Map and Master Boot Record. I forget what's in 10.4.
