  Disk Utility Failed

  Posted by Colin Wiencek on January 17, 2008 at 10:57 pm

  I am trying to reformat a 2 TB Western Digital HD using the disk utility. It is currently formated for XP and when I try to format it for OS X Extended (Journaled) I get a input/output failure. Any idea on how to fix this? Thanks,
  -Colin

  I’ve had issues with leopards disk utility to. I think you can do it though the terminal. Try this.
