[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 133597, member: 5184"] You have only read acces to NTFS, yet you can simply format (which is called "erase" in MacOS terminology) the entire HD with DiskUtility. Open DiskUtility, select the HD you want to format on the left side, and click on the "Erase" tab. Now you select "MacOS Extended (journaled)" in the selection box, enter a name below (you can change the name later) and click the erase button... That's it, your disk will be formatted in HFS+, which is the MacOS file format. And of course that means all data that was on the disk before is gone. [/QUOTE]
