Pls Help...mac Users
Good Day guys.... I have this very big problem concerning my external hd(120Gb) that is partitioned into 4. i have this one partition that is blank,meaning there is no data since i just reformat it using Windows OS. I plugged in my hd into a macbook and open the Disk Utility and try "erasing" one partition(30gb)(i have 4 partitions of 30gb each). In the Erase tab, there is a button "Security Option", since my plan is to just format one partition(so as to hopefully use it for transferring of files from my mac hd to my enclosure), i choose the "dont erase data" of the Security Option. After i press OK and Erase, to my surprise, all the other 3 partition just dissappear and it become to just one 120gb unallocated hd. After reading the help portion of the Disk Utility, i found out that only the readable part is erased and not the actual data. it is there as long as the hd is altered. Right now, i dont do anything about my "unallocated" 120gb hd since i knw that i can still recover my files or even return it to its orignal partion of 4. Guys, im just new to mac so i need your expert advices,it would be a great help. Thanks in advance.
