Hello Sarah & Mark Sarah; you missed quite a lot of detail here so i will try and give Mark step-by-step help.
1. From the Finder, press Command+Shift+U to open your Utilities folder. Otherwise, navigate through to "/Applications/Utilities/" then find, and open "Disk Utility.app". 2. You'll probably need to press the "Tab" key once to bring focus on to the list of selected devices. Highlight the device you wish to work with in the table. 3. Press "Tab" and you'll hear the list of available tabs. The default is "First Aid". Move your cursor using the unmodified arrow keys until you hit the "Partition" tab. Then press VoiceOver+Space to select it. 4. Where you hear "Current Partition Scheme" modify that setting to "1 Partition". 5. Move to the "Options" button and activate it. 6. in the list of partition types, make sure you select the "Guide" partition table. That's the only type from which an Intel Mac can boot. Then hit OK, and apply. You should then find it works as you expected. This is only from memory; I'm not actually doing that as I type so it's possible I missed something minor, but essentially the process is correct. But looking for the "Format" tab is misleading because there isn't such a tab.
