How to format MyBook Live to HFS+
I purchased two MyBook Lives last year for use back up drives. Since then I've decided to get rid of my PC and switch to Mac.
I want to use Carbon Copy Cloner to create bootable, disk image backups, but it requires the network drive to be formatted to HFS+. It seems Disk Utility requires the network drives to be direct cabled to the computer before it will allow you to reformat them.
Is there a way to directly connect a MyBook Live (ethernet cable only) to my MacBook Air 2011 in order to reformat the drive to HFS to use with Carbon Copy Cloner? Do I need to take it to a friends MacBookPro instead?
Any suggestions or alternative solutions greatly appreciated.
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
