Setting up a 160 Meg Apple SCSI drive

[richard]

I am trying to install a 160meg scsi drive into my A500 HD8

The GVP FastPrep recognises the drive but cant format or do anything with it.

I have tried low level formats, which failed until I changed the SCSI ID from 0 to 1.

Now the drive says that it has one partition. But when I tried to format it, Fastprep says there have to be at least one partition.

Is this Apple drive different to other disks? Should I use different software?

Thanks :-D

My A500+ is using WB2.04, and I got the latest GVP disk from the net.

The lowlevel format works ok, and the disk appears to have a partition on it (or multiple partitions). But it isnt possible to format it. Also when I read the drive information back, it claims there isnt a partition.

This is becomming frustrating. The GVP tools all recognise the drive without any problems etc. I just cant format/set it up.

Ok, thanks. I will try the HD_Toolbox first.

FYI: The GVP lowlevel format takes about 2min. So I am assuming that it works ok.
