This spring I installed Lion on my 5 year old MacBook Pro. Lion does not run
appleworks. I find I have a lot of appleworks files that need to be converted
to pages or pdfs. I have an unused firewire 80gb lacie drive which I want to
partition and use one partition as an external startup drive with Mac OS 10.6.
I can then, at my leisure, startup from the external drive, and convert my
files.
Four questions:
1) when I go to format and partition the drive I am presented with 4 Mac choices
a) Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
b) Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted)
c) Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
d) Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled, Encrypted)
Which choice do I want?
2) what do all the choice mean?
3) How big should the partition be?
4) Could I also use a usb 2.0 drive to do this?
TIA
