Evergreen Fire Wire hotdrive Question

[Will_Richo]

I have just purchased the above off E-Bay, it has come formatted for Windoze! The drive mounts ok but i cannot add to it as it is the wrong format.
The question is. Can_i_format_it_from_my_mac, Or do i need to use a windoze peecee 1st?

I have done a google search but come up with no helpfull info ref Evergreen, also the Evergreen website is as helpfull as a chocolate firegaurd.

Open Disk Utility and see if it will reformat the drive.

Hi Bob. Thanks for tht, i have had a look there as suggested. In the proerties it say NO to reformatting


Or should i be doing something else, like restore, or erase?

Erase then format

 

[Will_Richo]

Sorry. I have looked in further, it says i can erase the whole 37.5 gb LSI logic. It says it will create one large new volume.

Should i do this?

Erase then format

Hi I have erased. It now says untitled. How do i format? Or is it already? It says i can choose a name & partition it?

All done! Thanks Bob.
