i bought a seagate hawk 1 gb scsi drive, but the seller swears that the drive works, just needs a low level format via 3rd party tools.
now i have tried 7.6.1 drive setup, 8.6 and 9.1 drive setup and all of them tell me that the drive can't be initialized. something about it being too big and needs to be formated in HFS in chunks.
i have also tried fwb diagnostics and it says "Error found Level One Failure (Low severity)
fwb toolkit says "Device encountered a hardware error"
from the information i found online for the jumper settings, everything is in order but the drive refuses to initialize.
what am i doing wrong?
will upload pics once i get the chance to get the pm7500 running right
