- Don't thank us yet... yet answer is an emphatic NO.

- AppleHD SC Setup is simply not capable of creating or dealing with multiple Mac
- partitions. If you want to do that, you need some other program. My favorite is
- SilverLining from LaCie, but it is pretty expensive unless you buy a LaCie
- drive, and my preference is very subjective. Objectively, FWB's Hard Disk
- Toolkit (aka HDT) is a more feature-packed program, capable of bot only
- creating multiple partitions, but of doing so much low-level SCSI stuff you can
- purposefully ruin your drive. (not a program to be toyed with in ignorance) and
- Drive7 is another well-reviewed program at a lower price than either.
