Disk Utility Overview

In: Applications| How-To| Video Tutorials

3 Apr 2007

You may sometimes wonder how to optimize your hard drive, or how to format your external hard disks? Or maybe you want to copy a DVD and save it in your computer as a disk image, or simply burn a disk image on a CD or DVD. Maybe you just want to create an encrypted disk image to store confidential information on your Mac (as we covered in this video tutorial)!

There is a powerfull application on Mac OS X that can handle all this and even more. It is called Disk Utilities. This application resides in your Utilities folder located in your Applications.

The following video gives you an overview of Disk Utility showing what you can do with it as well as how it can help you manage your mac’s internal and external hard drives

NB: THIS VIDEO CURRENTLY PLAYS WELL ON SAFARI and IE7 BUT IS EXPERIENCING SOME ISSUES LOADING ON FIREFOX. Feel free to send me some hints if you have a clue how this can be fixed on firefox. I added a youtube version below in the comment section.

i like your tutorials, they’re very useful. but i can’t view your videos in firefox or safari. considering the purpose of your site, this is a little ironic, don’t you think?
