Hi, well now that you mention it, i will try looking in disk utility again. But i realized that my external disk has 1 partition on it that spans the whole disk and is ntfs. I suppose i cant just shrink that partition and create a new one, because disk utility does not support ntfs natively. Is there something like partition magic for the mac that I might use for this instead? Thanks for all the quick replies everyone, Greetings, Anouk, On Sep 11, 2011, at 3:51 AM, Jon Cohn wrote:
