[QUOTE="caribiner23, post: 342285, member: 9169"] Be aware that reformatting will erase everything on the external drive. With that in mind: Go to Applications --> Utilities --> Disk Utility In the pane on the left, select your external drive (be sure not to select your internal drive, which will have a name like "Macintosh HD"). In the pane on the right, at the top center, click "Erase." If you want to use the external drive on both your PC and your Mac, choose "MS DOS File System." If you want to use it only on your Mac, choose "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)." Click "Erase." It will run for a minute, and then the computer will automatically mount your drive. You're done! [/QUOTE]
