Hi all!  :)

I bought a 9.1 gig SCSI hard drive for my PowerMac 7300/180, but when I 
ran Drive Setup, and cliked on the drive, I got the message -

'Cannot modify a disk with non 512 byte sectors'

and the initialize button is greyed out so I cannot initialize it. Does 
this mean that I cannot use this drive? Or is there some way around this?

TIA,
