Okay, so my Tivo2 just died and i had to purchase the new DirecTV DVR (which has a shotty interface and is so user-unfriendly it has actually done more to get me outside than the summer weather). But i decided i'd open up my Tivo and get a free external hard drive. I did, and i plugged it in using a power USB converter into my iBook g4, and because of its strange tivo formatting, my mac cannot even register it. So my question is, how do i format this puppy?
here are the hard drive's specs:
Western Digital Enhanced IDE Hard Drive
Parameters: 80 GB
anyway i just want to format it so i can keep stuff on it, that'd be wonderful

any ideas?
