I have a firewire enclosure and recently installed a new
drive into it. The drive shows up in disk utility, and the
info on the drive states in can be formatted. When I select
the drive and erase, the system says partitioning, but
eventually nothing happens. I have run a diagnostics on
the drive, and all tests are passed. I have also updated
the firmware for the ADS drive enclosure. Any thoughts?
