Okay on the size and yes the drive is actually working. It does boot up.
Now for my update. For some reason that I don't understand when I turn the
1200 off and then back on the HDToolBox worked? ? So, I was able to setup
the drive fine. That was last nite and today I am installing my software.
Again thanks for the great step by step. I did what you said and it is
looking good so far:-)

Yup, it is set as the Master.

That is werid but it works

Ya, I thought the same, but I did not find a blizzardscsi.device anywhere.
I did find a 1230scsi.device which I used to setup the CD player.
