You didn't get sold a bum drive, just a bum techie! Your main drive with OS 9.1
should be formatted HFS+. It is easy enough to do, unless this Seagate is one that
won't format with Apple's Utility. Do you have any problems with backing up your
main drive, booting from your 9.X disk, reformatting and reinstalling your system?
That would be your best choice here..... that is, as i said before, if this
Seagate will format with Apple's Drive setup.....
