Best Answer

If your booting from a Mac, when Disk Utility sees the HD, you need to format it as---- Mac OS Extended (Journaled)-----, It will also give you an option of partitioning it into 1 large or many smaller partitions.

It WILL ERASE everything on that drive so make sure to select the right one.

Disk Utility/select your HD/ Erase/ usually defaults to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or select it/ name it/ select Erase... to start it.
