Even SSDs come unformated. During the device "role call", unformatted drives are so marked, and one of the first actions when the system reaches the Desktop is to invoke Disk Utility and ask you to initialize or ignore those drives. If the drive has been previously formatted with a "foreign" system, Linux, for example, you should ignore the message. If the drive has not been previously formatted, as in the case of nearly every brand-new device, you should probably reply format. -- -- 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.
