Wow…you really have tried everything!!
I've lost your previous letter. What was the Seagate model number? And do I
remember correctly that you did try DOS formatting? (the other writer was
right, SCSI drives are low level formatted at factory…and sometimes you can
screw them up if you try to re-do it.) You should have been able to go directly
to ADos formatting/partitioning. Send me the model # again, so I can check some
data I have here. But if you want a gut reaction, given everything you've
tried, you just might have a "bum out of the box" new drive. It happens.
