Re: Disk Utility and 1TB hard disks

2009-03-04 Thread yawg

Hi,

Disk Utility finished checking my big disk from my Panther partition.
I don't know how long it took - I left my computer on all night - but
it finished all right and found no problems.

Thank you. Regards, Jörg.

 series drives from 750 GB).

 What does different series drives mean?

 Is there a capacity limit to using Disk Utility? Like there is a limit

The 10.5 Disk Utility has no problems with 1 TB drives. I have not  
tested it with 1.5 TB, but I expect it will work as 1 and 1.5 TB are  
the same series of drives.

The 10.4 Disk Utility works to at least 500 GB, which is the largest  
ATA hard drive made (this may have been increased to 750 MB, but it  
has not been increased to 1 TB and 1.5 TB as these are different
