The video below demonstrates how to partition a hard disk in Mac OS X with the new versions of Disk Utility, found in El Capitan 10.11 and later releases of Mac OS system software. A new partition will behave like a new hard drive, and it will appear on your Desktop as a new drive which can be ejected, mounted, formatted, just like a hard disk. Nonetheless, there is always a chance something could go wrong, which is why I recommended you backup your drive first.Īfter you have clicked ‘Apply’ to create the new partition, it will be immediately accessible in the Finder to use how you want. You can make partitions any size as long as you have the available disk space to accommodate it, and creating the partition shouldn’t affect your existing filesystem either as long as there is free space.
Click on “Apply” to create the new partition.Specify a name for the new partition, select a filesystem type (Mac OS Extended Journaled is default), and choose a size either by manually entering a capacity or by dragging the slider bar in the partition map.Click on the + button to add a new partition.Select the hard disk you want to partition from the left side of the app.Launch Disk Utility from /Applications/Utilities/.How to Add a New Hard Drive Partition in Mac OS X
