I just bought an 80GB Seagate IDE st380021a drive and installed it in my B/W G3 running 9.1. I put it on my Sonnot 66 ATA PCI card. It was preformatted and it looked fine, but I formatted it just to make sure it worked using the Erase command in the Special menu. The format operation failed. Then I tried it again using Drive setup, and now all format utilities insist that the drive is only 32GB (including 10.2). I've also tried zeroing all data, and that didn't work. But the odd thing about that was that it only took 15 minutes to do that! I think my 500MB HD I tried that on took me 20 minutes. So, any suggestions about what may be the problem (and no, the limit 32GB jumper is not enabled)? I also contacted tech support at Seagate, but they were no help...
