Keep in mind the partition limit is 540mb. Chances are the drive isn't
compatible because of it's size. I know it's been said an Emax II will
format drives larger than 540Mb ignoring the remaining sectors, but I've
never had any actual proof of this theory. The few times I've heard
about people trying it has failed or hung up in the format process
(especially in the verify stage).
