[QUOTE="Chris H., post: 1096271, member: 124706"] Okay, so I went into Disk Utility, clicked on the USB drive I had plugged in, and then selected the Erase tab. I'm confused on formats. What's the difference between: Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) Mac OS X Extended Mac OS X Extended (Case Sensitive, Journaled) Mac OS X Extended (Case Sensitive) Which one is appropriate for a thumb drive? And if I ever plug the USB drive into a Windows computer, will Windows be able to read a Mac OS X Extended format? A little confused here. :o [/QUOTE]
