I would use /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility to format the hard drive. -- Please send all responses to the relevant news group rather than directly to me, as E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter.

Says drive can not be mounted, no matter how I try > to partition or erase. Is Disk Warrior my only hope? Any cheaper way to > format this drive? Is time machine still running? It should probably be turned off while working on its former disk. What exactly do you see in left window of Disk Utility for the disk (when the right window says "Select a disk, volume or image")? If you select the physical device itself there, as in (example: 53.7 GB IC35L060AVER...), and not the logical name (example: Time Machine), then select Erase from the options on the top of the right window, then using the Options... button (to the left of the Erase one) and select "Zero all data", then click ok (on that drop-down sheet) and Erase - does that work?
