Sorry I wasn't clear on that point... The disk I was referring to was a
HardDisk and when format the disk (to wipe it) or if I try to install MacOS
7 on the disk from within OS9, it tells me when i reboot with the newly
installed OS (MacOS 7) that the disk "Won't work on this mac" because it's
not formatted properly or something like that.
