If a reformat would prove to be successful, then I would think that the "zero all data" and "low level format" options should prove useful. IT will take alot longer to reformat, but that way you know you have no old data on the HD and all the sectors will have been verified.i just got a 30 gig quantum IDE drive (ebay, ugh!) for my beige g3, & it shows up on drive setup (os 7.6, 8.0, 8.5, 9.1, 10.0), but as a 9 mb disk! is the disk bad? is there a partition in there that's lying to my computer about the size? i've tried everything i can think of, & am going insane. please help!!!
TIA,
omar
I had a similair problem with a 10 gig IBM, and I considered it broken, it happened after I tried to install a wacom drawing table that I got from an ad, the filestructure on all my disks was somewhat disrupted, but the 10 gig was 24 mb no matter what, try reformat ?
lovek
