Nothing could be simpler than partitioning both internal and external disks using Disk Utility found in applications. (If I can do it it has to be easy) However it has the downside of being destructive in as much as partitioning erases the disk. I know there is a non-destructive version available, although I have a feeling it was for PC. Non-destructive partitioning means that the sizes of partitions can be adjusted later according to needs without erasing data, which seems to me a rather desirable feature. Perhaps looking at alternatives to Disk Utility for Mac is a good idea, if the software is non-destructive. Tony
