[QUOTE="4now, post: 468982, member: 36712"] 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 [/QUOTE]
