Tech Note:
Under Mac OS 10.3.x, the default format setting is Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Journaling provides a
continuous record of changes to files on the hard drive. You will not be able to format in the MS-DOS File System,
either, unless you choose the Erase tab in the Disc Utility window and create an entire MS-DOS File System volume.
