Thanks for your suggestion.
I'd have to format using a PC that can see the whole drive, then remove it from that PC and reformat those partitions into Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
As options go its OK, but not preferable.

Try partitioning it into smaller chunks maybe?

Here's an interesting situation my club got itself into.
The 40 Gigabyte drive in our old G4 is too full, so they bought a new Seagate 320 gig internal ATA/IDE to add to the system. I was asked to install it.
The jumper was removed to make it a SLAVE, but it appeared as a 128 gig internal on restart. Almost 200 gigs lost.
Ahh, so this Mac has an ATA limit. I wish the Mac User Group Store / PowerMax would have mentioned this when we spoke with them. (Yes, we gave them all Mac specs before ordering the drive).
What can I do? Is there a PCI card I can install to leave this new drive as a slave to the original Apple/Quantum Fireball, and recover the lost space? What other suggestions can you offer?
