1. Select the drive's icon (not the indented volume name) in the left column.
2. Click the Partition tab on the right.
a. Type a name for the drive; Volume Scheme=1 Partitiion
b. check that the "Format:" field says "Mac OS Extended (Journaled);
c. click the <Options...> button.
In the Options drop-down dialog, ensure the <radio button> next to "GUID Partition Table" is selected and click the <OK> button.
3. Click the <Partition/Apply> button on the lower right.
