Dear Listers,

I have an external usb drive onto which I've been backing up via Time machine. I will now be switching to backing up wirelessly and I would like to use the usb drive to create a clone image of my mac using Super Duper as has been suggested recently on the list. I understand I could boot up from such an image.

The question I have, given that I've been backing up onto the usb drive via Time Machine, do I need to reformat it in order to put a clone image onto it? How does one reformat an external drive on the Mac.

Thanks listers for any help. I know it's probably a very basic question for you.

With best wishes

Simon
