Thanks for the suggestions.
The HD and also my external have a driver that I think is the HFS 4.3 (it is identified as Apple 4_3) while the original has a drive identified as just Apple Driver, which I believe to be older. Is it possible that this 4.3 driver is too new for the ci? I am guessing this because the external drive will not boot if the internal disc is missing but it will if the internal spins up too slowly.
Is there a way to load the older driver? HDSC tools 7.3.5 patched "says" it is loading a driver but it still comes up 4.3.
Dunno for sure, but I always use a third-party formatter first. Then I can switch to the Apple driver. Try that.
How bout using 7.3.5 and deleting all partitions, especially the disk driver partition, reboot with the install media and use the disk-tools disk or whatever to set up the drive before the fresh install? There is only the small driver partition that would hold something thats holding you back. Dodgey drive? One of you earlier posts mentions using 7.3.5 to 'format' the drive which I read a few ways, sorry if I have only repeated what you have already tried.
I've only required a third party formatter, actually two, to allow me to use a standard Mac 2gb drive that had 9.1 on it. I'm pretty sure it was my own ignorance which caused such need. Got rid of both and formatted (nuked) with 7.3.5.
