I don't know why this would work when the others failed, but have you considered Lido? It's a free download, and it's never failed me. (Though I've never had the misfortune of having a formatter crash halfway through its job) I think I'd give it a try, the drive is already toast, I can't see haw it would cause more harm. Good Luck, J White P.S. For what it's worth, I'd run with 6.0.8 on it as well. It's much faster. It is more stripped down though. On my SE I have 6.0.8 and 7.0.1, and use system picker to change the active system. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
