I am having some trouble low-level formatting a new hard drive I just got. Actually it is an older hard drive that I saved from the scrap heap. This is a 300 Meg drive and seems to work fine but here is the problem. I enter the information into HDToolbox (I have a 3000) and try to low-level format the drive and it just sits there and doesn't do anything. The drive is a CDC-Wren 94171-300. This drive is now through Seagate but they were of no help to me. The information I have is 1,412 Cylinders, 9 Heads, 586,763 blocks on the drive. Any help would be appreciated. Also when I run HDToolbox the manual says something about a list of drives coming up in the Change Drive Type window I never get a list does anyone else?
