[QUOTE="aidenzralka, post: 1158438, member: 136088"] Hi all The standard hardrive in my mac has died. I have a western digital 360gb hardrive which I have taken out of the casing of a external drive. It serial ata and full compatible with mac and it's even a better drive then the standard mac hardrive my laptop came with. The problem is when I try to format it in disk utility on my mac it won't let me select a file system to format it in the drop down box is locked. I think this might be because I formatted it on my windows system as nfts which a mac can only read. Do I need to put the drive back in my pc and format it as fat32 then put it back in my mac and format it to extended journaled. ????? Thanks Regards Aiden [/QUOTE]
