I just got a Maxtor XT-8760S hard disk and ran into one small
problem, format won't format. All I can get format to do is
tell me that there is not enough memory. Why can't I format
this drive? What is wrong with format? Anybody at Commodore
care to comment? Am I stuck with a 675MB paper weight? Somebody
please help!
