The problem is not the format of the disk but rather the loading of the chipset "driver" or extension in OS X. What motherboard/chipset do you have?

maybe im mistaken here but are you just asking how to format your hard disk to HFS+?

all you do is choose the utilies menu on the menu bar, choose disk utility, choose the hard disk, go to the erase tab and then erase and choose the mac journaled format
