Formatting formats a partition, even if it's just one partition for the whole drive. Deleting a recreating a partition leaves you with a raw partition that needs to be subsequently formatted.

I believe XP has a drive manager in the computer management section under control panel, and it also has the command line 'fdisk' program. However, XP is limited and often can't deal with partitions from other operating systems.

Hence this is why I had to use the linux 'fdisk' partitioning command. I suspect the GUI linux program 'gparted' MIGHT also be able to do the job.

Maybe Apple also has such a tool?
