On a Macbook, Mac OS 10.5.8. Just purchased a 2TB Hitachi XL2000 external hard drive. Followed the instructions to format it to HFS+.
So I went to disk utility, on the left selected '1.8 TB Hitachi HDS722020ALA330', there's an indented selection right below that, which is the volume i think.... but I selected what I wrote above which I believe is what you're supposed to do. Under the erase tab, I selected Mac OS Extended (Journaled) from the 'Volume Format' options. I named the drive and then I hit erase. It begins 'partitioning' and after about 3-4 seconds it stops and says
Disk Erase Failed
Disk Erase failed with the error:
File system formatter failed.
After that the Hard Drive no longer shows up in Finder under Devices. When I shut down and re-connected it I keep getting an error alert pop up that says:
Disk Insertion
The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer
'Initialize...' 'Ignore' 'Eject'
The drive still shows up under disk utility, but when I try to format it again I get the same error.
Btw I want to use this drive both my Mac and my PC with HFS+ and MacDrive on my PC...
