centic Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Is it possible to format an external hard drive with the GUID partition table structure? I've tried 2 different enclosures and 5 different hard drives however Disk Utility in both OS X and the OS X Install disc (all legal, not x86 {censored}, on my iMac) refuse to format it, it just hangs, or only creates 1 of 4 partitons or whatever..

elektricity Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I have set up a few external drives with no isuues via firewire and USB. Occasionaly I get the wrong amount of partitions, but retrying normally sorts it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
