To Whom It May Concern
Недавно просил у ЖЖ решить проблему с ошибкой форматирования внешнего диска Seagate FreeAgent 1TB с помощью стандартной системной Disk Utility в Mac OS 10.5. ЖЖ не помог - кто-то сказал, что это ошибка не пофиксена до сих пор, кто-то пришел с традиционным комментарием "макговно". Все оказалось достаточно тривиально, нужно было просто погуглить, чтобы на Амазоне найти в комментариях пользователей элементарный алгоритм действий с той же Disk Utility:
1. Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
2. Click on the Partition tab
3. Click on the Current Volume Scheme drop-down menu and select One (1) partition.
4. Click Options. From the Partition Schemes provided:
5. Click on the GUID Partition Table radio button
-OR-
Click on the Apple Partition Map radio button
6. Click OK. Select other options as desired (e.g., Volume Name, Format, etc.).
7. Click Apply. The Partition Disk screen opens.
8. Click Partition. At this point, the volume dismounts from the desktop and the drive is partitioned and formatted.
Note: When Volumes are created, Time Machine may open asking if you would like to use the volume for backups. Click Cancel to proceed. When finished, select the Disk Utility from the Apple Menu and choose Quit Disk Utility.
