Try this:

Use HD-Toolbox and enter as tooltyp "scsi_device_name=GVPscsi.device"

start hd-toolbox and read the config.

make a partition and fillup the reserved blocks with filesystms till there is no more space. This will overwrite data comimg fromthe mac which could cause trouble on the amigaside.

If this won't help just make once again a lowlevelfomat (still with hd-toolbox).

SACSI hds will perform a secure lowlevel if the manufacto alows it. If the manufactor doesn't allow it, then lowlevelformating will stop imediatly (just within seconds)

Setting up HD's isn't my strong side, but I've heard millions of times in here that you DO NOT low level format a HD... So that's maybe why it acts so wierd...


SCSI disk are smart enough to allow it or to deny. With IDE drives you should be cautios because it could be that you have to enter all the data of defective blocks etc. manualy.

The newer hds just pretend to do it but won't do it.

Performing a verify after lowlevel can cure most troubles
