Or perhaps my question is more "how do I change permissions on it?". Here's the poop:

I got a 160gb blackarmor in a trade. They don't work on macs. I want the HD to pop into something else. I've separated the drive from the enclosure, put it on a usb adapter, I can see the drive on the desktop and in DU, I just can't toss another format on there or, for that matter, do anything else with it. The permissions say read-only. I'm pretty rusty at command line stuff (but highly adventurous) and searches for "format UDF" turn up all kinds of CD/DVD stuff from 2007. Can somebody toss me a little help?
