    I just got my beautiful Seagate FreeAgent Pro, although it would be more beautiful had they allowed for the base to come off (would make packing it in a suitcase so much easier). I swear, I'm amazed that sometimes companies don't ahve the decency to give us such a minimal option as this one.

    K, this is from one of my previous threads:
    First of all, the OS X partition, did he mean HFS+ by that?
    Second of all, how do i go about partitioning the HD?

    I'll save you! :p

    First of all, by OS X I assume that poster is referring to HFS+, yes, the Mac OS X default file format.

    As for partitioning a hard drive, I followed this guide myself. It works well. You can also find the link to this guide in the Mac Switcher's Guide's Recommended Guides & Links section :).
