Hello All, 

I have a Quantum 6Gb internal drive from a G3 minitower that died while
I was installing some software. Faulty backups too :-( 

The drive has been replaced but I would dearly love to be able to use
the old drive if I can. I have only used Apple's drive setup to try and
format it, but it simply isn't recognised (I've set it to slave
otherwise the computer simply locks up). I think that's correct, I'm not
too sure about IDE drives, always used SCSI in the past. 

Can anyone suggest any software to use that might be able to recover the
drive or at least format it so I can use it again? The drive spins up
ok, nothing else. I can't imagine it would be too serious, as there was
no physical damage to the drive, apart from that done from what I
suspect was a dodgy intaller.

Cheers ... Antony
