Drive Setup

Drive Setup is the standard partitioning utility that is shipped with Mac OS. It can create multiple MacOS partitions on your drive, leave free partition space (e.g., for use by pdisk), deposit the latest Apple disk drivers onto the disk, and create actual Mac OS standard and extended volumes in created partititions.  It can partition (Apple-branded) SCSI and IDE drives.
