Re: Hard drive formatting

[James Elliott]

Thanks for the info.  When I look at the card with APS Power Tools 
under 9, it shows up as a SCSI bus and I hadn't heard that Jaguar 
changed that.  That was the reason that I bought it.  Do you know 
where I can check how it looks to X.2?  I don't want to screw with 
the eight gig partition action; but if it must be done, it must be 
done...

Nope. OSX wants the drive formatted as HFS+, just like OS 9.

Now be aware you amy well have to partiton that drive so that the 
first partition is < 8 gigs; I don't think the SIIG is one of the 
controllers that act like a SCSI controller to OS X 10.2 (earlier 
versions of OSX were different, the ATA drivers were changed in 10.2)

IAC, you can do it any way you want. The Disk Utilities are 
available in the installer (selct Disk Utilities under the Install 
menu, you can partition and format your drive there.)

If you do partition your drive, go here 
<http://www.bombich.com/mactips/homedir.html> and do what it 
says...this allows your boot 8G partition to store just the system 
and applications.
