Posted February 27, 2019 Any possibility of using Macrium Reflect to just clone it over? Might help, and works like a charm on Windows. But I don't know enough about Mac OS to know for sure.

Posted February 27, 2019 You will need to "erase" it first to format it, and then you should be able to partition it. Your millage may very but since you said it is a new drive, no risk really.

Without formating it, it didn't work at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 27, 2019 You have to just erase the drive and then format it. Mac is easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
