into at most 16 partitions). You may adjust 

the size of each partition using the slide bar 

between the partitions in the Volume 

Scheme area.

In the Volume Information section, enter the 

desired name for each volume (partition). 

You may choose one of the following 

volume format (Mac OS Extended, Mac OS 

Standard, UNIX File System, or MS-DOS).

Once you have finalized the volume options, 

click Partition. An alert message should 

appear, click Partition again.

Mac Disk Utility will format and partition the 

disk according to your settings. When 

partitioning is complete, your drive will be 

ready for use.
