Good morning all,
I have a drive, and it already has my Time machine back up, and some other stuff on it, can I partision it with all that stuff on it, or do I need to remove it all first?
Any help would be greatly apreciated!
I believe it erases everything on the drive, and then particians it. I could
be wrong, though, so asking for a second opinion would be helpful. *smiles*

nah. She can add another partition without erasing the drive. The problem is, setting the size of the newly add partition is a bit of a pain. The last time I checked, this wasn't accessible with Voiceover. There is a splitter you need to move like that found in mail for example. To the best of my knowledge, you need to use a trackpad or mouse to physically drag this.

Actually, I was able to mess with the size sliders a while back when I partitioned a 2 TB external drive . I'm trying to remember exactly what I did but I believe I interacted with the slider itself. It may have been awkward but I was able to manipulate it just the same.
