Sorry-I dont know all the lingo, but I have a 160gb hard drive taken out of a PC. It is in a portable unit and I thought I'd use it as my Time machine and partition it and use it for some other storage like pics and audio. When I use Disk Utility to erase it it shows the drive only has 18.5gb. It also has an untitled drive and it too shows 18.5gb capacity.
Why can I not erase the whole drive and have the full 160gb?
Or more accurately how do I erase it fully? I have a PC on Win Xp and a laptop on Vista if those have utilities I can use to wipe it out utterly.
Thank you,
Ray
