Chuck (and everyone),
I have a Seagate Barracuda that I'd like to reformat as HFS+ with
the 9.1 Drive Setup. I previously formatted the drive with hard disk
toolkit. Chuck, had your drive been formated with hard disk toolkit in the
past?
I ask because of this (scary) tidbit recently posted to the
pci-powermacs list:
