I can’t see why it would stop you repartitioning in disk utilities if your 
doing things correctly.

I’d happily take it off your hands if you don’t want it!

Subject: Trying to format a Seagate drive

Hi.
My wife gave me a Seagate 5 TB drive, only it comes Win 32 partitioned, with 
their Windows backup software installed on a small partition.  Thus, the drive 
does not want to erase and repartition in Mac so I can use it for Time Machine. 
 Every time I try to Erase I get a fail message.  Anyone have any suggestions?
