Formatting extended journal time for 1 terabyte drive

I recently formatted a 500 gig hard drive -- it took 10 hours. Would that mean it would 20 hours for a terabyte? Just want to know before i start!
tx

no i just followed the directions i found in the discussions.
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the drop down menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
this way...took 10 hours on my imac that is tiger os

  • What format do I use for internal drive?

    I want to install a new internal harddrive into my Macbook.  What format should I use for it?
    Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    Mac OS Extended
    Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
    Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive)
    MS-DOS (FAT)
    ExFAT
    I know MS-DOS(FAT) is what I should use for external to work on mac and windows.  Can't remember which to use for the internal.  I have an Intel-based Mac.
    Thanks for your help.

    I use SuperDuper for cloning my OSX volumes and it does not change the size of the destination partition to the size of the source partition.
    So, you can make the destination partitions size to your liking and the cloning will not change it afterwards.
    Keep in mind that SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner cannot clone a BootCamp Windows partition to a new harddisk, only OSX partitions.
    But Parallels doesn't need to have a Windows partitions but is mostly just two files plus the Parallels app on your OSX partition.
    And therefor it would be cloned with the rest of the OSX.

  • Extending the time for a photo inserted into Motion timeline

    I'm a newbie to Motion and I've downloaded the dvMatte for Motion so I can do what I hope to do, which is to shoot a short Monthly PodCast in front of a green screen and insert a Virtual Set behind me.
    I insert my clip into motion, apply the dvMatte filter, then add a picture of the virtual set as a layer to the timeline.
    It looks great, initially. But the image/picture is inserted with a duration of only 3 seconds. I can't seem to locate a way to extend the duration for that picture to the same as that of the keyed clip.
    The clip is, in this case only 8 seconds. So I end up with a great 3 seconds of my virtual set with me in front of it, then just the black matte behind me.
    Are photos not permitted to be extended?

    Bob, take the time to thank those who helped (especially Nipsey since he figured out what was going on) by clicking on the or the over people's posts.

  • Frustration at a 10!!!-Premiere Element 9 extending duration time for disc menu, motion menu buttons

    So I have spent over two days trying to extended the duration time for the dvd main menu motion sequence as well as the chapters.  For some reason the main menu sequence is stuck at 29 seconds and chapter sections are stuck at 4 seconds.  I've tried manually putting in more time, but it always resorts back to the above mentioned times.  I noticed there are blue dots under the two run times does that mean the times can't be made longer?  What am I doing wrong here?
    Patrick

    Patrick,
    PrE has a 00;00;30;00 Duration limit on the Menus. Some other, full-featured authoring apps., like Adobe Encore (bundled with PrPro), do not. Not sure about Sony's DVD Architect, which is a very popluar, and inexpensive authoring program. This ARTICLE goes into some detail on Menu Durations, but the limit is still 30 sec. in Pre.
    Good luck and welcome to the forum,

  • Slow auto-detect times for PATA drive

    Problem:
    Very long auto-detect times for the PATA drive.  During boot up, the system pauses at "auto-detecting" for this drive, for about 30 seconds.  This is by far the longest period in my entire boot process.  Occassionally the drive is not found at all, and I cannot boot.  When I go into the BIOS, it's identified correctly.  This is my OS/apps drive (the SATA drive is solely for audio and video).  Any ideas?  Also, is there a way I can get my system running in Native mode without losing the DVD drive?
    My system:
    865PE NEO2-FISR
    1x160GB WD PATA drive, IDE 1, last spot on cable, jumpered as master
    1x120GB WD SATA drive, SATA 1, jumpered as factory
    1xOptoRite DVD-RW, IDE2, last spot on cable, jumpered as master
    BIOS Setup:
    Legacy/PATA+SATA (I tried both Native settings--SATA only/Keep PATA enabled, PATA only/Keep SATA enabled, but the system could not see my DVD-RW drive in either setting).

    BIOS 1.7.  I'm going to take the jumper off, thanks for that information.  Should I set my DVDRW to cable select?  
    I also see that the beta BIOS fixes some problems with similar HDD issues, so I guess I'll try that if it isn't fixed by the jumper.

  • Partition External Harddrive and part format Extended Journaled part fat32?

    Hello

    I want it to make partition into 2, and one part to format Mac Extended (Jounaled), one part to FAT32.
    Is this possible?
    Many thanks.

    Thank you very much.
    Can I have related question?
    Is it possible to make 3 partitions on a harddisk?
    If it is,
    Can I retain NTFS on a partitioned part?
    Or does it have to be entirely formated to Mac readable/wrtitable fotmat?
    I mean if I partision in 3 parts can I format
    part 1 Mac JOurnal
    part 2 FAT32
    part3 to retain NTFS?
    Many many thanks

  • Extend the time for a title to show

    how do you add time to a static title - say to hold it for 10 seconds in a movie

    Welcome to the forum.
    If it's just a static Title, click-drag on the Tail in the Timeline, and extend it, as desired. I like to have the Info Panel open, and visible, to see just what the Duration of the Title is.
    Good luck,

  • Extend activation time for replacement phone

    I am away from home and my replacement phone just arrived today. Is there any way to extend the activation period? According to the box, the activation period is only 5 days, but I will not be home until the weekend. Please help~  

    @joeyc1223,
    As long as you return the phone within 5 days of activating the replacement device you have nothing to worry about. We ask that you activate the replacement phone as soon as you're back home and returning the defective phone. If it will be more than a week before you get a chance to activate the phone, I suggest you contact us so we may remark your account.
    Hope this information is helpful.

  • What HD format do I use for Time Machine

    Hi guys,
    I need to clean up my external HD and reformat it before using it with Time Machine. Just wanted to know which format method to use.
    In Disk Utility it offers the following:
    Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    Mac OS Extended
    Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
    Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive)
    I'm confused. Which one should I use?
    Thanks for your help,
    Bruce

    it should be mac os extended journaled provided your main drive has the same format. if the main drive is case sensitive, use case sensitive for TM too. also, it should have GUID partition scheme for an intel mac. when you are reformatting the drive (use the "partition" tab in Disk Utility) you can set the partition scheme by clicking on the "options" button.

  • HT201250 Will Time Machine wipe my external hard drive if its formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)?

    I want to use Time Machine to back up my mac. I have heard that it will wipe the HDD if its not formatted correctly. Disk utility says its
    Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Is this alright? or will it wipe it?

    Yes, if you use Disk Utility to reformat the drive or assign that drive to TimeMachine it will wipe all existing data off the drive/partition.
    Like was mentioned, only use one drive for TimeMachine and preferably another one for a bootable clone.

    Hi Joseph, was hoping the resident TM expert Pondini would drop in, but I guess not.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Repair the external/backup drive also.

  • Why do I need to reformat and erase backups on an external backup drive that I have been using for over a year, when I get this dialog box? The backup disk is not in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which is required.

  • Imovie not seeing partitioned time machine drive. I partitioned my TM 2GB and formatted Mac OS Extended (Journalled). These drives in iMovie have a Yellow exclamation mark and I cant access events. Can access in Finder?

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

    Thank you for your response. I was able to successfully format the drives Extended journaled when they were out of the raid configuration. I was not able to format as Extended (not journaled) in the Raid configuration.

  • Time machine on local WiFi network - OS Extended (Journaled) format error

    Hi guys,
    I did an initial Time machine backup of my Macbook Pro via Firewire to an external hard disk. Everything went smoothly and later Time Machine did regular backups without any problem.
    When I attached the external Time Machine hard disk to one of the Macs in my local WiFi network the troubles began.
    My Macbook could still see and mount the Time Machine drive via the network but didn't want to backup to this drive any longer. It came up with this error message: "The backup volume is not in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, which is required..."
    When I connected the Time Machine drive back to my Macbook directly via Firewire, it resumed its backup duties without complaining. Very strange...
    Whenever Time Machine tries to excess the drive via the network (AFP shared) I get the format error message. Attached directly to the Firewire port it works flawlessly. Any suggestions how to solve the problem?
    I really want to do my backups via the wireless network and without having to plug-in the drive directly into my Macbook, which wouldn't be a very mobile solution for a laptop
    Would an Airport Extreme station with an attached USB drive behave differently?
