my PTP HD is showing up as 2 disks: a 2gb and a 4gb (I think the 2gb is a Quantum drive) -- I don't know why, it didn't do this before.
I was able to reformat the 4gb drive & update it with an Apple Driver using Drive Setup utility on the OS 9 retail disc. However, the 2gb drive (the main drive, SCSI id 0) shows as "unsupported". I cannot reformat it because "unsupported drives cannot be reformatted" and I cannot try to repartition the drive or volume to allow me to create an apple driver for the same reason.
I've read several posts on the list about updating non-apple disk drivers, all say it's easy and most say you can do it from the Utilities section of the OS 9 disc. any suggestions?
I also can't update the CD driver because "Drive Setup can't update CD/DVD drives". many posts say this can also be done through the OS 9 disc. any suggestions here either?
thanks. JT
p.s.-- I was able to install OS 9 on the 2gb drive and it appears to be working ok. I'm just trying to update the drivers to make the machine more updatable/compatible.
