[QUOTE="whitetar, post: 1210125, member: 47452"] i saw a similar post, but seeing as im technically inept i was hoping someone could really dumb things down for me. i just purchased a WD 1TB drive for back up with my MBP. on the box it says it needs to be formatted for OSX. i tried erasing the drive under the disk utility option and selecting (Journaled) but it would not let me. if this is merely a drive for storage use, can i leave it at FAT 32? and what exactly is FAT 32?
