I hope somebody out there can help me. I just got a new Seagate SCSI-2
drive and it came formatted IBM (w/ an IBM partition table). I would
LIKE to format it for my mac, but nothing will let me since it doesn't
have a mac partition table or an Apple driver on it. So, the APPLE HDSC
setup won't read it, and various programs I've downloaded haven't been
able to format it or create a partition table. I did use Symantec Tools
and tried to create a partition map by hand, and now it recognizes the
partitions but won't read the device yet.
I'm looking for a program that can create a new partition map AND
hard-format the device, since it wasn't formatted even NEAR it's storage
capacity. But, I'll be happy with a program to do either CORRECTLY.
Where should I look? AND, does somebody have Apple's latest HDSC
application? My version is 7.1.
ANY QUICK HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!
