my PC with xp died so i put its relatively new HD into an external case.
rescued all of the files onto my macbook pro (OS 10.4.10)
found 'disk utility'
decided to erase to zeros
but then I couldn't find a format option.
but after the erase - the HD was ready to receive files from the mac.
i just want to make sure i did everything right
and didn't miss a step.
because i now want to use the external hard drive as an efficient - and reliable back up source.
optimized for a mac environment
thanks
