OK, now I've done it. When I ordered my WD external hard drive, I didn't know it had to be mac specific (should have known). The only way I can use it without limitations (according to the literature) is to reformat my hard drive. Well, that means erasing everything.
I think the best thing to do would be to return the drive, get the proper one and in the mean time, partition my hard drive so that I will have a separate place for Mountain Lion so I can download it in the next few days while waiting for the new external drive. Does that make sense? I only have until 8/24/12 to download Mountain Lion for free, and I'm not sure I will receive my new hard drive by then.
