Another Compaq drive doesn't boot; any version of Apple formatting app (Drive Set-up) has the same warning: "this drive has protected drivers, but can still be initialized."
(Old news, yes, but I ran across this while going through emails and it jogged a memory.) I've run into this kind of thing myself, also sometimes Apple Drive Setup will claim it can't initialize a drive because of open files (apparently the non-Apple driver on the disk). I use another, heavier-duty utility, like Hard Disk ToolKit, to format the drive, but NOT initialize it, then use the Apple utility to install an Apple driver.
