Is there any way to re low-level-format a stepper 20mb miniscribe? i have one pulled from a macintosh SE and its giving me fits. of course.
it works perfectly fine, and seeks all the data on the drive properly. it was also bootable.
Problem is, when i tried to erase disk, it froze. stepper actuated one time and that was it. norton wipe info does the same thing. of course it damages the volume, so if i ran a norton disk doctor, it successfully repairs the volume so i can see the files, but obviously there is some crosslinks, corrupt files and is no longer bootable but it still seeks fine.
I tried the HD SC setup on a power PC mac and it freezes as well....
any way to low level format these drives? I am thinking it needs a new format.
