[QUOTE="ajbert, post: 202202"] My guess is "new image" might be what you are looking for. It says there are no partitions so maybe clicking on new image will create a new formatted partition. This will probably clear whatever information is on the hard drive, so if there is anything on it be sure to back it up. Is it already formatted or where you using it with a different computer? If so, what format was it in and what kind of computer did you use it with? I believe that FAT file systems are compatible with both Macs and PCs. Just warning you that I am only a college student, but "new image" is what I would do. Maybe wait for another responce to decide. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
