  The hf's rdprep software does not know how to deal with
large hds... It tries to set up partition with more cylinders
than the hd has.. It tried to say my quantum 210s had 234meg
when I tried to format, i had the same problems you had..
Solution: I preped the rigid boot block with the gvp host scsi
on my accelerator (which recognized that the drive was only 199.3 meg)
then switched the hd back to the faster hf2000 and formated it. :)
