Running disk utility with the SSD in an external enclosure, I saw that the disk was recognized but that the computer was unable to mount the actual partition on it. However, I still couldn’t boot, I got the gray screen and the loading bar, and a power off. I was having trouble with an SSD where fsck looped around for many times, and said incorrect number of thread records, but eventually said that everything had been repaired. I had to do all this today because of a problem that I was having with my Mac. From there I was able to navigate to the right options to clear my drive, first by going to GParted>Device in the menu and selecting my device, and then Device>Create Partition table…, and then finally by right clicking in the me that popped up below and selecting Apply. After this installed, and since I already had the hfsplus plugin on my RPi from earlier, I did sudo gparted in the command line after already being logged into the GUI on the RPi (via startx at the startup command line). You can get Gparted via sudo apt-get install gparted. I used Gparted to partition and format an HFS+ SSD on linux on the RPi. Gparted is a nice graphical disk utility application for linux, its useful for keeping track of partitions (easier than the tail -f /var/log/messages command, though it doesn’t dynamically update on my raspbian install), and changing their format.
