Hi Guys,
Just got my MBP! Have a quick question.
Coming from windows, I have always partitioned my hard drive to have a "data" drive where I store all my documents/music/pics so that it is safe and away from the OS (in case I need to re-install the OS- i don't loose my docs/music etc.)
I just created a partition using disk utility and the "format" I gave it was Mac OS Extended. I am not too familiar with this format as I have only used NTFS and FAT in the past.
Did I do a good thing by making the partition Mac OS Extended? As I stated before...the purpose of this "drive" or partition is pure to store data that I do not want deleted in case I re-format the OS.
Thanks!
