The Operating Systems prior to OS X do not support creating multiple partitions on an external hard drive. If this is required, we recommend to: • Connect the hard drive on the internal IDE bus • Use Mac OS X to create the partitions • Purchase a third party software supporting these features • Upgrade to Mac OS X  The tool used under Mac OS X is the so called 'Disk Utility'. You can find this inside the 'Utilities' folder.
		Open the 'Disk Utility' application inside the 'Utilities' folder.
		Choose your external drive and format it according to your requirements. Remark: If you can not see the external hard drive at this point, please check your jumper settings, cable connection, power supply and extensions. For 3.5" Hard Drives, you can also connect the drive directly to your internal IDE bus if you encounter problems with the external drive and install it later after formatting.
		Close the 'Disk Utility' after you are finished and your new drive will appear on the desktop, ready to use! Note: Mac OS extended can only be used with Macintosh Operating Systems. If you plan on transferring data across different platforms to a PC, we recommend you to format the drive on a PC using FAT32. Creating two partitions on a PC with FAT32 and then later formatting one on the Mac with Mac OS extended is not possible! If you change the partitions on the Mac, they will not be recognized anymore by the PC.
