Hi, I'm using a Macbook 1,83Ghz Intel Core 2Duo with OS 10.5.7. Just got a new Iomega 2TB external HDD which I intended to use just for back up of vídeo files of my Scratch disk for Final Cut which is an external FW drive. I cannot format the Iomega drive in Maco OS Extended (Journaled). Only in MS-DOS(FAT). If I try Os (Journaled) is gives the message "Disk Erase Failed with the error: File Sytem formatter failed". Now if I try to partition the drive, I can only do it using 4 partitions which renders 465GB each. They are in Mac OS (Journaled) but if I choose the drive and not the volumes, it says it is in MS-DOS(FAT)! Can the drive be in FAT and the volumes in OS (Journaled)? Even so, I would like to have the entrie HDD as just one partition in Mac OS(Journaled) as many of the files I'm putting there are 13GB (captured miniDV tapes). Any ideas why I cannot do this?
Thanks.
Thanks.
