[MacDV] Re: Formatting new Firewire HD

[rjn]

My understanding is that if you intend to install a system on the 
drive, then definitely partition it. Put the system on the partition 
within the first 8 gigs. I have been advised that it is good to have a 
drive dedicated to video files only, if you can afford to  do that.
