I've got a Transcend 8GB usb drive and i want to erase everything on it but i can't. I know that the best way to do this is the Disk Utility (Because Finder can't erase them too. When I drag and drop to the bin, it says "43 files cannot be deleted")Â
When i attempt to format, this message appears from disk utility:Â and also, another message appears at the same time.I just wanted to format my disk. But i can still see the content in the disk. But can't copy them to desktop.Â

Some time ago I had a problem with my iMac. Turned out my internal HD was broken so I got a new one.
The problem is that after I got my iMac with the new INTERNAL HD back, I was unable to write data on my EXTERNAL (Toshiba) HD, which until then I had no problems with. When I checked the format of it, it now says NTFS.Â
As I have more than 1 TB of data on it which would take forever to back up, is there another way to change it's status and write on it again? I was once able to do it, so I don't know where the problem is.....Â

I'm trying to install Windows 7 on a spare disk (in bay 1). Do I need to format the disk in NTFS or MS DOS (FAT) before installing Windows 7? The computer currently tells me that the drive is not formatted for installing Win 7 on it. I had used this drive before for Leopard, cloned it to another drive (bay 2), upgraded to Lion, and erased and formatted the drive in bay 1, but not for the NTFS or MS DOS (FAT).

I tried to install Lion on iMac 2004 (2008)Now the HD has a problem. I won't unmount via Disk Utility.The partition with the system shows a circle with a slash through it.The Mac will boot into other systems on both the internal and external drives. But the system on the internal is broken. I used the system restor to start up Lion.There are hundreds of gigabytes missing. The HD is formatted in 2 partitions. One for Lion, one for Tiger.I want to get rid of the Tiger partition. Disk Utility tries but can not unmount the Tiger partition.I think I have to reformat the HD back into 1 partition and instal Lion on that.The Lion partitioin only has 15% free space. I can't just go ahead and use it.Â

I would like to format a partition on an old iMac (mid-2007) that is compatible with Xubuntu 11.10. According to Disk Utility the current partition is formatted with Mac OS Extended (journaled). None of the other format options appear to be likely candidates.Certainly the existing format does not appear to work. What must I do?Â

How do I set a custom time & date format in the top bar?Â
When I go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats I can set different formats. I have no idea where you will see these, but I know that it's not the top bar where the time and date is being displayed. Because no matter what I enter, the format in the top bar will stay the same. I can only choose things like 24-Hour clock or not, blinking dots and so on in the Time & Date settings from the System Preferences.Â

I'm running Snow Leopard on my new Macbook Pro. I've got a 1.5TB External hard drive that I'm trying to figure out how to format in HFS+ with Apple Partition Map. I can figure out how to format in HFS using Disk Utility, however it still does it in GUID format and I do not know how to do it in Apple Partition Map.
Googleing this for hours has lead with all kinds of information on how to go to GUID FROM Apple Partition Map but not the other way around. I know GUID is the new hottness.. but this drive will be used exclusively to connect to my XBOX 360 and it supposedly only reads HFS+ when its formatted with Apple Partition Map. (I have tried it with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with GUID, and the XBOX does NOT recognize it) I do not want to use Fat 32, (I know that that is the other major option) beacuse it limits file size.
