effecting the rest of the partitions on an external HD? The reason I'm asking this is because I want to create a new partition but when I adjust the size and create it, it says I have files in it. But when I click on the partition in Finder, there is nothing appearing in the partition. I want to create a partition for the Lion up-loader so I don't have to keep downloading it for all of my macs but uncomfortable about moving forward.
Got a tip for us?

Ok cool, but why is there data in the first place if its a fresh new partition? When I right-click on the partition for More Info, it says that there are files but when I simply click on the partition. there is nothing that appears there.
