[Avid-L2] Format a drive

 

I'm on a MacPro, 10.8.5.

I have three 3TB drives installed internally.

I just cleared one of them off of all files. No problems. I wanted to be able to use the drive on my Mac AND be able to transfer it, with 3TB of material "sneakernetted" over to my PC when I was done, so I formatted the drive as ExFAT using Disk Utility.

Now, however, even though I can see the drive in Disk Utility, I can't see it at the finder level and when I'm in Disk Utility, it won't let me re-format the drive in any way. Running Verify Disk on it says that the drive is fine, but I can't use it in any way now and I can't reformat to a useable drive in Disk Utility.

Any ideas how 1) I can format the drive so my MacPro can see it again. 2) Format it so that I can then move it to a PC?

If I can only do #1 and not #2, then I'm fine with that. Right now, I can't use 3TB worth of storage.

Steve
