Select erase disk from menu. When the disk is half finished formatting shut the Mac off. This is really inelegant but it works. The next time you put the disk in it will say it is not a Mac disk etc.... Children DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME. This technician is a trained monkey and has been taught by professionals. If you do this to your Mac and it dies well, youve been warned. I discovered this when while formatting a disk my wife plugged in the iron and the kettle at the same time. Everyone should be forced to live in ancient and crumbling buildings. Oh the multitudinous benefits of Rent Controlled Buildings. <<BB>> --- * Via ProDoor 3.1aR
