9600 G3 is on a distinguished road
Angry

I recieved an old 2gb drive from a PC friend and wanted to use it in my 9600. I had to initialize it using Hard Disk Toolkit. All is well until I started to run OS X now when I switch back to OS 9 I can no longer see the drive. Is there anyway to force Drive Setup to work? Does anyone know if Drive Setup will work in OS X to do this. It does not give me an option to update drivers or initialize. The drive is just used for documents and scanned images.

Question Lost Harddrives

Hello,

lost Harddrives seems to happen only to HFS-formatted drives. (?)
The partitions are there - you can see and use them e.g. under OS9 from sherlock, or see them in the OS X finder. (But no longer on the desktop)
This seems to happen to Hd-Toolkit AND Apple formated drives.
So far no idea for a solution (try using gregs browser under OS 9 to access the lost drives)

Regards,
Markus

Cool Thanks

It works now. I reformatted the drive with verification and set it to HFS+. (It was HFS before) Booted into OS X and back and the drive is still there. Thanks again.
