Trying to Install Maxtor Onetouch II 250 on MAC

Feb 17, 2006 12:38PM PST

Hi:

I just bought a Maxtor for my Powerbook G4 - and I'm trying to reformat it for MAC - but when I go to erase the volume to reinitialize it, I do not get an option to select ''Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'' - I erase the volume, but its format is still for MS-DOS File System (FAT32). I have Mac OS X version 10.4. The ''Enbale Journaling'' button is present in the Disk Utility window, but I am not able to select it....

I emailed Maxtor, but who knows when I will get something back from them.

Thanks for any help,
a very tired musician
