I realize this is a hardware query BUT
I have a G4 1.25 Dual Power PC and I've added a 320Gb ATA drive as the system drive. All seems fine except that in Disk Utility the drive appears RED and it says ' This drive has reported a fatal hardware error to Disk Utility" It won't let me format the drive or First aid it etc.

Anyone know how I can do a low level format and maybe try and locate the damage?

I've tried Disk Warrior and Tech Tool4 to no avail.

many thanks
 
If the hardware reports a failure like that, you _won't_ be able to just reformat it and "find an issue" that can be repaired by software. I'm sorry. Replace the drive.
