I've got a Maxtor 60 gig firewire drive that I formatted originally with the Maxtor utility. Now I'm getting better results (with my other FW drives) using Apples Drive Setup. I want to re-format the Maxtor using Drive setup, but it won't let me since it doesn't recognize the existing driver. Is there any way to convince Drive setup to go ahead an initialize the drive. I'm fairly sure if I removed the drive from the Firewire enclosure I could put it inside my G4 and format it that way, but I'm trying to avoid it.

Tim
