Go back into Disk Utility, select the drive (not the volume) icon, and click on the Partition tab. Select '1 Partition' under the Volume Scheme, click on Options and select 'Apple Partition Map'; if it was FAT32 it was partitioned as Master Boot Record, whcih cannot be used to boot a Mac. FAT32 and HFS are the *volume* formats, not the disk partition type. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
