6.3 Mac OS
Mac version OS9.2 (and earlier) does not support creating partitions on an external hard drive. To do that
you would need to purchase additional software. Initializing is no problem on all Operating Systems. For
OSX use the Disk Utility to format and create partitions on your external hard drive.
Select ”Disk Utility “ in the utilities folder
Choose your external drive and format it according to your requirement
