Ok, so I bought this 250GB Western Digital My Book Pro from Best Buy yesterday.
I plug it in and it works. I can see that the capacity is 232GB which is fine.
Now the issue:
Western Digitals support site at http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc...SZwX3NlYXJjaF90ZXh0PTI5MQ**&p_li=&p_topview=1 says that:
But I can see the complete 232GB partition????
Did I miss something in understanding? Should I repartition and reformat the drive using Disk Utility and break them the hard disk into 2 partition of 125GB each?
I wont be having a file more the 4GB so Fat32 works fine for me!

Macs, on the other hand, can only recognize FAT32 partitions that are smaller than 128-gigabytes when viewed in the operating system. So you should create two or more FAT32 partitions that are smaller than 128-gigabytes if your drive is larger than 128-gigabytges and you plan to use it on a Mac.
