did you try using the button that says "update drivers" and then
rebooting? of course, you may have problem there of 10.4 vs 9.

Yippee!! That worked. I had completely forgotten about that function
in Drive Setup. Hopefully that will also work for the OP.

great, i'm glad.

OS X doesn't use or install by default any disk drivers on the physical
hard drive, so there should be no issue with compatibility using the OS
9 supplied drivers.

The only thing I am not sure about is whether the disk drivers installed
by OS X 10.4.x were newer than those installed by Drive Setup in OS 9.1.
This issue may only be of concern in my particular situation or anyone
trying to run a replacement drive from the motherboard ATA connection on
a Rev 1 B&W G3. The Rev 1 B&Ws have a major problem with data
corruption in this case. I thought I had read that the OS X drivers
alleviated this problem.

is that why you are running 9.1 ? i think you can try the same trick
with
the drive setups that come with the 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 updaters ?? i
think if
i looked at a disk that was orginally formatted with 9.1 but updated
that
way, in linux i saw a slightly different partition map setup than if i
formatted with 9.2.2 originally, that is a few little partition in
there with
i/o kit, apple patches, and one other. that is perhaps the source
of the overwrite, that some variation in the structure.



Thanks for the help. I hope it works for the OP as well.
