i got a scsi drive that was supposed to be a 50 pin which turned out to be something else with an adaptor to 50 pin. it seams to work but i want to reformat it to hsf mac standard. when i tried in 7.6.1 drive set would not allow it to be done. it is 18 gig i was planning on 2 9 gig partitions. ant ideas? |

You may be having problems with this because system 7 does not support larger hard drives very well, maybe you could format it on another mac? Have you tried drive setup or only the finder?

thanks i moved over to an os 9 machine and the disk setup allowed me to reformat. As an external drive os7 will read hfs+. But you were correct i needed to run a newer os that would allow me to change to format to std mac

Quote from: "madmann" As an external drive os7 will read hfs+. Mac OS 7 will not read any drive that is HFS+, although it will recognize that it is there and "mount" it - but it will only contain a text file that says you cannot access the contents of that disk.
