For some reason utilities like those mentioned can't do as good a job as low level format in DOS. In cases like this I mount the SCSI drive via Adaptec 2940UW card on a PC (I bought the card specifically to resuscitate unmountable Mac drives), open Adaptec's control panel (Command + A) which will detect the drive and do low level format (3 hours for a 9 gig; 6 hours for 36 gig). Once a directory is written Drive Setup will see the drive. Charlie -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
