" format it as an Apple Partition Map partition."
Thank you Bruce,
My partition options appear to be:
Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Mac OS Extended
Mac OS Standard
Unix File System and
Free Space
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
There are two types of "Format" if you will. The list above is the
volume format. Apple Partition Map and GUID refer to a partition
format or the partitioning scheme. The partition format affects the
entire disk and is achieved using the Partition tab in Disk Utility.
The volume format is selected within a given partition format.
The partition format affects the entire physical disk.
The volume format affects what appears as a disk on the desktop.
Thus a given physical disk can have an Apple Partition Map, GUID, or
others and within that disk it can have one or more volumes that are
formated with Mac OS Extended, Mac OS Standard, Unix (ext3, etc), FAT
(16 or 32), whatever the windows format is called or others.
