Initializing external HDD

[John Hokanson Jr.]

I have an old 40 gig HD in a firewire enclosure that I want to reformat and repartition. OS 9 Drive Setup sees it on the FW bus, and it can be read and written to, but Drive Setup reports that it's not supported for initialization. Is there any workaround for this?
