In the interests of knowing for the next time :
Connect your flash drive to the mac,
Go Applications - Utilities - Disk Uitilty and open disk utility
Disk utility collects info on all your drives
Click on the Flash Drive
Window opens and you will see First Aid , Erase, Restore.
Click on Erase ( Nothing happens yet )
Now look at Volume format ... Click and hold on the arrows to see
the full range of choices.
If you wanted to reformat... you would now select the Format
and Click on the Erase at the BOTTOM of the screen.
Check it now so you know for the next time.
Have fun
I have a Legend PenDrive 2.0. When I try to do what you suggest, I
have no option to format as a PC drive. So, I have formatted the
drive as a PC drive, and installed a mac disk image on it, so I can
backup my mac files with long names etc. (Thanks to Shay for the
private suggestion).
I would like to know:
How I can PC format a partition from the Mac?
How I can get the Mac disk image to auto open when the drive is inserted?
Cheers
Rob
