Re: HD Formatting Problem

[Kari Rasmason]

I've got an external firewire enclosure on my 400DV also, running both 
9.2.2 and Panther. It has to be set to CS cable select. There's no such 
thing as slave and master in the mac world to my knowledge.  They should 
both be set to cable select, or the internal to the master single drive. 
Firewire needs to be plugged in and turned on before you boot the iMac 
or it won't get recognized.

I swapped my firewire drive with my iMac drive last week. The firewire 
was set to 'slave' so when I put the iMac drive in the enclosure I 
changed that to 'slave' and everything worked fine.

I recently replaced the drive on my iMac DV 400.   I put the original 
10G Maxtor drive in a firewire enclosure, thinking I would format it 
and install it on an older PPC.  The iMac's system profiler 
recognizes and identifies it as a firewire device, but when I go to 
drive utility to initialize, it's nowhere to be seen.  Does anyone 
have any idea what the problem is?  I haven't changed the jumper 
settings, so it's still at master, as it was in the iMac and the 
enclosure requires.
