Sorry, typo on my part. I did mean HFS+. I could not find the reference I mentioned in an earlier post, about placing OSX in the first 8GB of a hard drive. Maybe I dreamed that part? But, now I am more confused after reading various threads. Does OSX need to be in the first partition of a drive, and is there a "correct" size for that partition?
