I tried using the 10.0 Disk Utility, and used that HDD (for DP3) and formatted it, but, it said I still didn't have enough space.

What should i do about this?

How much space did you give it? DP3 has a max size too IIRC.

5-10 GB

Hmm... 10GB should be in the sweet spot; big enough for any PPC OS you throw at it, small enough to be seen correctly.

I can't remember what partition table DP3 looks for; it's possible 10.0DU isn't creating the right format. Have you tried the PearPC image recently mentioned in a different thread?

I haven't seen the thread nor tried it, I can try it tomorrow or some time soon.

Ok, I figured it out, I just formatted the HDD in OS 9.
