Is it possible to reformat a Mac scsi hard drive to be used under Win98? I asked this question before and have been patiently waiting for an answer for several months. Answer and I will vote for you so I can see you on the "Screen Savers". (Sorry for the blackmail, but I would like to get an answer to my question before I experiment and possibly ruin a good hard drive for my mac.)

Hello and thank you for your question.

There is nothing really unusual about the SCSI or IDE hard drives used on Macs I recommend that you do a low-level format prior to a high-level format to make sure the drive is thoroughly cleaned off.

Good luck!
