there should be an erase tab when you select the drive from the table present disk utility application in the utilities folder. Choosing this will allow you to format it and you have several options you can choose from the popup menu.

When I formatted a 500gig drive, I think I used the options under the Partition tab and set seceuriy to 100%. It did not take long to format.

Now am trying to format a new WD Passport 1t drive using the same options. Its going to take 17 hours?!?

Before I start it over again, I would like to know how I should do this. Thanks.
