I am unable to get YDL 4.1 to install to my firewire drive as advertised. I type install firewire at the prompt and the firewire drive does not come up in the list of hard disks to edit in disk druid. I have looked all over the internet and cannot find any instructions that work unless it means resizing my internal HFS HD, which I do not want to do.

 

I find it incredibly frustratiing that terrasoft makes a big deal out of the firewire thing and then it doesnt friggin work.

So now it sees the firewire drive. But it refuses to reformat it on grounds that it contains the "apple partition map" even after I plugged into a PC and reformatted it there!

Use Hard drive killer pro (pm me for link) and/ only use gparted or PartEd (never used that one) on it for all your hard drive partitioning needs... gparted is a live cd so thats all good btw.

 

 

max

 

 

ps thats odd, you must have some reminants from the apple partition record...
