"The high capacity drive must be formatted using Mac OS X 10.2 or  
later in order for partition sizes beyond 128 GB to be recognized. If  
you plan to start the partition up from Mac OS 9.2.2, the partition  
sizes may be a maximum of 200 GB. If you have a drive that is larger  
than 200 GB in size, you will need to create multiple partitions with  
no single partition exceeding 200 GB in size. Once formatted, the  
drive will be recognized under the version of Mac OS 9.2.2 that comes  
with the Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors) and later products."
