I acquired a large SCSI hard drive to use as a second drive in my 7300>G3 computer. After installing it, I found that it had been formatted with a utility that is not an Apple one. I would like to initialize the drive and reformat it with Drive Setup, but when I try to, it tells me that the drive is an unsupported one and Drive Setup cannot do that. How do I reformat the new drive? TIA. --Art SableYou might have to use a utility such as Intech's Hard Disk Speed Tools Pro or Silverlining. You may be able to workaround and get it formatted with drive setup by first formatting it with one of the aforementioned tools and then trying drive setup. The other workaround is to format it using the old Apple HD SC setup software and then reformat it again into hfs plus format with drive setup. In order to do that, however, you may have to install the drive into an older computer on which Apple HD SC setup will run and then transfer it back into your 7300.
