Problems adding new hard drive
« on: Today at 03:12:53 PM »
In the past, I somehow made hard drives that were larger than system 9 would allow, but formatting them, on an X computer, into partitions that were small enoug.
This worked.
But, I just tried the same thing with a new drive I bought (ion box new G drive). It has 2 TB, so I divided it up into 8 partitions...but it won't show up on my G4 running 9. Anyone know how to get around this..there are a lot of formatting initializing options, and I'm not sure which is the best.
