Nothing wrong with backing up and reinitializing. But 3.02 is not 
that old. I'm quite certain there's a create volumes function ... 
what behavior are you getting?

OK, I just found a backup of HDT 2.0.6. I forgot that HDT wants you 
to update drivers (to/with *their* drivers) in order to create 
volumes. This is usually not a big deal, with the usual caveat for a 
*current* backup. So it can be done.

Of course if you're running OS X then your HD drivers will be a lot 
newer than the one installed by HDT 3.02. I would probably backup and 
reformat.
