[QUOTE="dcow, post: 1001277, member: 139944"] it will say "hfs+ extended (journaled)" so you don't get confused the next thing is you need to be really really really sure you format it with proper partition table. if you use the older partition table you can get a bunch of permission errors and such with the newer OSes (like 10.4 and up). You should select GPT and not the other one (sorry I don't have my mac in front of me so I can't check for sure what the name is.. I think it's something like AFP of something) [/QUOTE]
