Thanks Dave ---
I'm going to re-format the drive even though it is prepped for action.
The options under 'Erase' are;
> 'zero' disk
> Erase Eight times... (or something like that)
Should I check/use both of these? I will choose Mac Extended Journaling and give it a name also. Once Erased/Zeroed, I assume it will automatically format the drive for me ( i.e. there seems to be some space used for this - about 60mg?)
Also, there are two Lacie HDD icons in the left hand column, Which one do I apply the process to, both of them or just the top one?
you'll have to excuse the point by point newbie questions, Dave - its first time out for me and I really need to get it right...
many Thanks for the help ---
John.
