[G4] formatting larger drives

Call tech support for the FW enclosure and ask if the bridge is ATA6
compliant. The only way to see the full size of larger drives is to have
them on a bus that is ATA6 compliant.

I do have a few FW enclosures that currently have smaller drives in them.
But if I remember right, I tried reformatting one other time in the case and
it still stayed the smaller size.  Do I have to somehow reset it, obviously
not a tech term, so it knows it has wasted space somewhere on it?
