DON'T WORRY! You're halfway there! You only need to low-level or Zero all data the harddrive, most likely it was formatted by a newer system or a peecee. use Hard Disk toolkit, if drive setup gave you that message, it is very likely it wont work with it at all. Email me off list there is a freeware software that will format most about everything, a little old but still works. -- ��Liliana�� Human is the only specie in the world that kill just for the fun of it, because they are the only specie in the world who's capable of hate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Millions of animal species have become extinct because of men, there was only one time when humans where close to extinction; ironically it wasn't because of animals. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
