[QUOTE="immdb, post: 34852, member: 1238"] I believe in OS 9 you would use Drive Setup to format a drive. Have you tried Drive Setup? If not, go to the menu item "Functions", select "Initialization Options" and then "Low level Format". If it will let you start the format don't cancel it, it will take a LONG time to format a drive of several gigabytes. I would start it and then go to bed. :) [/QUOTE]
