Apple is already basking in the success of OS X Leopard’s launch, but it’s not all roses for those who upgraded to the latest version of Mac OS X. A poster from Gizmodo encountered a rather pesky problem while in the process of trying to create a back up with the Time Machine application, but managed to come up with an easy solution.

He was trying to format the disk for backup use, but the disk was still in FAT32 system - the file format for Windows PC - even after formatting, rendering it useless for OS X Leopard. After making a few calls, he was able to make out a solution, all of which are thoroughly outlined and explained in case you encounter the same kind of problem.
