I'm trying to upgrade the hard drive in my IIci from the original 80MB Quantum ProDrive to a 1280MB Quantum Fireball TM (both are internal drives). Both the original and the replacement are SCSI ID 0 and termination enabled. No other SCSI devices are installed. There was nothing wrong with the original drive other than it was too small and too old. Upon trying to prepare the new drive for installing OS 7.0.1 I ran into problems. Apple HD SC Setup (v7.0.1) does not see the drive but gives me an error message: "Drive selection failed. Unable to locate a suitable drive connected to the SCSI port." When I try using SCSIProbe (v4.3), it sees the drive but won't let me select it. If I try to mount it (even though it doesn't indicate "selected"), I get a different error message: "The large volume connected to your computer cannot be used because a 68040 or PowerPC CPU is required for volume sizes larger than 4 gigabytes." I haven't a clue why it thinks this drive is bigger than 4 GB! I pulled the new drive back out and initialized and partitioned (single HFS) it on another machine and stuck it back in; no change in behavior. I disabled the termination and still no change. Have you got any tricks up your sleeve that I should be trying?
