HDToolbox SCSI hard drive configuration help needed

[Thomas]

Formatted Capacity 170,818,560

Assuming that it is a 170 MB drive then this is probably the capacity in bytes which means that the drive has 333,630 blocks of 512 bytes each.

Now you can choose the heads/sectors/cylinders as you like as long as the result of multiplying heads by sectors and cylinders does not exeed 333,630.

For example 10 heads, 9 sectors and 3707 cylinders are possible values.

Error 45 means "status and/or sense error". Either your SCSI bus is not terminated correctly or jumpers are not set correctly or the drive simply does not work, either because it's incompatible or because it is damaged or dead.

is formatting

Use Quick, not Format. Format does not do much for harddrives anyway, it just needs a lot of time and produces nothing but hot air.
