Add Note Edit Step 21  ¶ 

  • Select your new hard drive from the left column in Disk Utility.

  • The correct partition type needs to be set for your new hard drive.

    • If it's a brand-new hard drive, it may have no partition listed.

    • For an Intel-based machine, you should have "GUID Partition Table" listed.

    • For a Power-PC-based machine, you should have "Apple Partition Map" listed.

  • If the incorrect partition type is listed, proceed to the next step to delete and re-create the partition. If not, proceed to step 24.

  • Warning: Deleting the partition will erase the entire contents of the partition. Make sure you have selected the new hard drive!
