[QUOTE="gershwin, post: 688703, member: 29585"] Hey, I have USB 2.5" 320gb Western Digital HD I have been trying to format. This, in preparation to Super Duper my current MBP drive over to make a bootable clone and eventually put the 320gb hard drive in my Macbook Pro Anyway, whenever I attempt to erase the drive and format for MAC, Disk Utlility crashes. Sorry I'm at work and don't have my MAC with me, so don't remember some of the terminology. Something of interest, Disk Utility sees the eternal usb drive as one generic entity, but nothing seems to be mounted- and it's like I can't do anything with it. So if I plug into my PC, And I have an option of formating the drive (NFTS), which do- to see what happens -then I plug it back into the MAC. I then see the new volume I have created on my PC in disk utility and I got to format this, erase etc. and that is when it CRASHES. Very convolluted, sorry. I'm well over spending so much time on this stuff. I have things to do by god!!! Thanks. Macbook Pro 2.33ghz 15" Tiger [/QUOTE]
