    I need to get a new external harddrive. What is the best brand for a reasonable price?

    The best value is a DIY unit, with your own Hard drive and something like an Icybox, but if you don't want to assemble one, then I'd suggest a WD Mybook, they're decent quality units for an OK price.

    You can format it using windows. Do you mean recovery?
