I have been attempting something similar, but didn't even have as much luck
as you did. I have asked around and the general consensus seems to be that
power may be a problem with the larger drives. Also I believe the max for
the se's is 4Gb.

Subject: Upgrading an SE's HD
Hi List!
I have a straight SE (not an SE/30), and it has an 80 mb HD that I want to
put a 2 GB drive into. I can't get the SE to recognize the drive. The
drive was in a 7300 running OS 9.x in it's previous life, so I put the new
drive into an old PowerComputing tower running 8.6, formatted the HD in
Standard (not extended), and then ran the 7.5.3 installer, installing a
copy of 7.5.3 on the 2 GB drive that would work on any computer.
I put the new drive in place of the 80 MB, and turn it on, and it gives me
the sick mac face followed by
0000000F
00000002
Any ideas? THe HD is a quantum Fireball ST 3.5 series.
TIA,
Lavode
