Lombard problems

[Clark Martin]

I'm trying to put a bigger HD and OS X into a Lombard at the school I 
help out at.  When I try with either the OS X or OS 9 installer disk 
and the format utility the new disk gets reported as a smaller size. 
The old disk gets reported with the correct size.  But neither of 
them will format.  If I pull them and put them in an IDE-Firewire 
enclosure I can format them to the right size, no problem.  If I 
format them in the Firewire enclosure and put them in the Lombard it 
can't see them as formatted.  The "newer" drive came out of an iBook 
and was formatted and loaded with OS X when I first tried it and it 
wasn't seen then.  My best guess is either the drive cable or logic 
board.  I was hoping someone would know of a third, cheaper 
alternative.
