    Hi i have a Macbook Pro (older version) running OS X 10.5.5 and I'm wondering if there's a way to format a partition created on my internal hard drive. Notes: Bootcamp doesn't work, says something about a verification error, and the disk utility will only let me create a partition with the format as "Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)"

    Any help will be appreciated!

    If I understand correctly you are trying to format your bootcamp drive to a windows format. But you aren't able to if you want fat32 in disc utillitie choose msdos I belive it is I'm on my iPod touch right now so I can't check but if you want ntfs you have to do that from either windows or from the windows install disc


    I may be compleatly wrong about the question you are asking so correct me if I am
