I have a 500gb Lacie external hard drive hooked up to my imac by firewire. I never formatted it I just plugged it in and have been using it ever since. I was using my external to install WoW but I was doing it from a PC. The PC wouldn't recognize the drive unless I formatted it. So I partitioned 15gigs of the drive to NTFS so I could install WoW from the PC to my Lacie drive and then later on bring my external back home to play off of that on my imac. Now that I'm home on my imac I can only see the 15gigs partitioned part of the drive.
Does this mean that the other part of the drive is now totally gone? I realize the partitioning was worthless because WoW wrote the PC version onto the external (duh didn't think of that). So now I have no use for the partition so how can I get it back to what it was? Do I have to erase the whole drive and reformat OSX Journaled or is it still there and I just can't see it? Thanks for any help.
