Dear experts. . .
Here's my situation:
I put a 6.4 gb hard drive in my beige G3/266 running OS 10.2.8 that I
pulled from a PC. The beige recognized the drive just fine. I opened Disk
Utility and formatted the drive, choosing "Zeroize" or write with zeros to
destroy all data, and left the computer alone to clean off the drive.
Sometime during the format, Disk Utility hung. I had to restart the
machine, and after the restart the hard drive disappeared. I've tried
Norton Disk recover and Diskwarrior and neither programs see the drive to
do anything with it.
Did I kill the drive? I've tried changing the jumper settings,
restarting the machine, etc, and the computer still doesn't see the
drive. Do I need to put it back in a PC to run some kind of utility on
it? I've got a few Unix skilz, so if there's a tool in that arena I
could try, I'm more than willing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
James Stegall
