Sampsa, if your SE/30 is running some version of System 7, no a 9GB drive is not "too big." But for System 6 you need to keep drives (or drive partitions) to 2GB and under.
It could simply be that your drive is not terminated properly. If you confirm that it is terminated properly, the it really could be a bad drive. To know for certain though, you should connect the drive to the newest Mac you have that has SCSI and try to format it from that Mac. If initialization fails on that newer Mac too, then you probably have a bad drive mechanism. -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
