How can I set this up to use on a Mac?

I have reformatted (using my Windows 7 Notebook)this USB 2.0 WD External My Passport drive to various formats, but I still cannot see it on my Mac running OSX 10.5. Is there a disc utilty that will set this up to use on Mac OS instead of Windows? (tried the WD site)

Try selecting Utilities/Disk utilities. If it sees your drive set it for one partition/erase and you should be good to go. Good luck.
