Hello,
I have a Mac Classic 4/40, with an external Zip drive, that had system 6 installed on the hard drive. When I booted a Zip disk with a fresh install of System 7, I noticed the hard drive had a generic document icon, and if I tried to delete it or paste another one, it would say "it cannot be found", so I decided to format the hard drive.
I tried Lido and Apple HD SC Setup from the zip drive, and both bombed me with address errors, then I disconnected the zip drive and tried Apple HD SC setup from the System 7 disk tools floppy, with the same results, and a "bad F-line instruction" bomb too, when running the test from Apple HD SC Setup.
Shall I bury the hard drive already, or could it be something else?
