Forget about this silly trip about IBM HD and thinking your
PowerCenter is IBM formatted, BECAUSE IT ISN'T.
Ignore the warning, because it should work just fine. If you can
get a Power Computing version of 8.0 or 8.1, use it, otherwise the regular
installation disk should be just fine. You DON'T need the full version of
HDTK, although it's nice. Don't buy it new in any case.
