... I'm currently having difficulties with my GCC Hyperdrive FX-60.
Since GCC wanted a silly amount of money to 'REPLACE' my bad drive
I got an identical drive new for a significantly less amount.
Problem is the GCC formatting software refuses to recognize the
drive. Although I could use other formatting software I was
wondering If anyone had a fix for this problem.
BTW , the drive is a SEGATE 277N ( 60 meg ) which does NOT appear
to have any kind of SPECIAL GCC ROM on it.
Any help would be appreciated and posted ....
Thanks !

In any case, you probably have nothing to lose by using the new driver software that you've got with the new drive.
