[QUOTE="Benjamindaines, post: 329450, member: 8386"] The erase method you have found is the correct way. HFS+ is the Mac OS extended option (use journaled). To get he FAT-32 option you must select the drive (not the partition): [img]http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/6842/picture2gw4.jpg[/img] Then it will show up from the pull down as MS-DOS: [img]http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/2208/picture3ro8.jpg[/img] And yes you can have different filesystems on separate partitions.
