Hi, i bought myself today a 2TB external Seagate USB 3.0 harddrive, that is also USB 2 compatible. It's not formatted yet.
How do i get it formatted in AmigaOS 4.1?
UPDATE: This is now solved easily by pressing Ctrl Alt and M at the same time, to access the Mass Storage program, which allows you to easily format the USB HDD.

Connect the drive to a USB port and Press Control-ALT-M to get the USB MassStorage commodity.
You should get options to set the files system and fomat the drive from here.
