I got the 2-partition thing to work, but I was fiddling- I set it up  
as one partition mac, once version unix, then changed the unix one to  
FAT32 on a PC.
I've not done it "from scratch" on the Mac, but it should not be  
intrinsically much different than one Mac, one Unix partition...   
This was 10.2.8.


Can you get one mac/ one unix partition set up at least?  If not,  
that's just strange.


Today or tomorrow I will get one more drive (Seagate 5 yr warranty  
120gig $40 at Circuit City :) and set up one more external box, so I  
can play at that time.


I think someone asked about what utility I used to do this a couple  
weeks ago, sorry I didn't get back about that.


HTH.

What version of disk utility? (or OS I guess).

Re: Best Enclosure?

[Dave Foshee]

I suppose I am looking for a USB 2.0 and Firewire 800 enclosure that will
hold a 3.5" drive up to 300 GB capacity. That would be best. The less
expensive the better.

Thanks!

Dave

I've got the drive but need the enclosure. It is a 3.5" drive.


While not knowing your definition for "best," I suggest that you take  
a look at the Argosy enclosure from PC Micro:



I have several of these stylish vertical aluminum enclosures, which  
are well designed and yet reasonably priced.
