Not quite.  As I wrote earlier, you do use disk utility, but you format 
it not as HFS, nto as HFS+, not as UNIX, but rather as "free space" (in 
some later versions this is called "unallocated", but I presume you'll 
figure that out).  If you need Disk Utility instructions, feel free to 
email me or get info from Apple's knowledge base.

Bottom line is you DONT want it formatted, just partitioned.  YDL does 
the formatting.
