    I have a couple of Seagate ST34371WC (4G) that mirrored, one HD gone bad
    and I need to replace it. However, one of the backup ST34371WC HD is not
    able to "relabel" or allow any changes made to the HD.

    I have put this HD in one of the sparc workstation, solaris8/9 doesn't
    matter, and try format/partition and then label but keeps getting "can't
    label". The drive currently has a label and partitions on there, but it
    seems I can't make any changes...ie, resize partition, use another label,
    if the drive is bad I wouldn't be pondering, but HD is good and I can see
    the current label and can use the partitions currently on there.

    I have checked the ST34371WC physically and both the working HD and the
    stubborn HD seems to have the same settings, no jumpers of any kind that
    would prevent writing/modify to the HD.

    HELP!!! something I'm missing??? Oh the ST34371WC contains the Sun's
    label instead of the Seagate. I have attempted to use both to re-label
    the HD but still no go...

    Thanks.

    - Mike
