Reformating a Harddrive
okay i have this seagate 320 that i put in an vantec enclosure
was using it for a portable hd
my friend who has a mac needed me to fix her comp so i took it over and backed up her system
but the problem was that my porta was formated as ntfs so i had to reformat to the mac setting to get it to work
now that thats over with i wanted to reformat to fat32 so i dont have this problem in the future
the only thing is that my computer does not recognise the drive when i plug it in now
any ideas anyone?

Make sure you do this to the right drive if you have more than one 320GB drive, or you'll end up nuking the wrong one.
apparently i needed to initialize the disk first before it bothered to even notice the usb drive was plugged in
