[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 719259, member: 56231"] See attachment, which is a screenshot of Disk Utility from my eMac looking at my external hard drive. See Volume Format? I have it set to Mac OS Extended, which is HFS. I did not need to have it Journaled (one of the options) because I don't use it as a boot disk. The name you give your external hard drive is entirely up to you. Once you've got those two settings right, click Erase. Whatever you do, don't interrupt the process, even if it seems to be taking a long time. My guess is that a 120 Gb drive will take only a short time to be formatted. Once it's finished, you should see the drive mount to your computer desktop with the name you chose. Then you can start putting your chosen files on to it simply with drag-and-drop.
