Sorry about not waiting for a reply but Daddy always said that if you weren't doing something, you're burning daylight.

After sending the other post (and reading it) I decided that the MS-DOS File System was probally not right. When I originally partitioned the drive it was the only choice other than "Free Space". I have since went back and worried it a little and I now have the following choices:

Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Mac OS Extended
Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive)
Unix File System
Free Space

At this point I'm like a pig with a new watch ..... I look good but aint got a clue.

What would the best choice here and any reason I should split the drive up?

Ya'll take care.
