Hey everyone,

I have an SE/30 and I'm attempting to do a clean install of 7.5.3/7.5.5. I 
did this on another SE/30 I own a while back without issue but I'm running 
into a strange problem here. Maybe since I'm relatively new to the classic 
machines I'm simply overlooking something.

I loaded up the disk tools to format the HD but it keeps telling me:

"Unable to locate a suitable drive connected to the SCSI port."

Now the machine is booting just fine and when I boot from this disk it 
shows the HD in the Finder as well. My other SE/30 went through this step 
without issue which is why I'm confused. This isn't referring specifically 
to external drives is it?

Since the machine boots and the HD obviously works great, I'm not sure 
where to go from here. I tried the older Disk Utilities floppy I have and 
it has the same issue. I can boot in the first install disk for 7.5.3 and 
install over the current OS but I want to format the drive entirely. Has 
some old data from the original owner way back I'd like to wipe.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
