Harddrives
« on: May 08, 2003, 03:09:30 AM »
Hello ......
My Quantum 1.4 gig drive died after about 10 years.
I picked up a Quantum 4.3 gig drive for a good price.
Can anyone tell me roughly how long it takes to
low-level format a 4.3 gig scsi drive??
I have an A3000, w/origonal amiga scsi adaptor
and OS 3.1.  I let HD tools 'say' it was formating
for over 4 hours but I don't hear any clicking in the
drive. I don't think it formating.
Its been a long time since I formated a drive.
Anyone have any ideas??

Yes.. remember this is a SCSI drive......

I seem to remember something about a 4 gig limit.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Can I format the 4.3 gig as one drive or do I have
to partition it??
