I will try that today.

Unfortunately, I think I need a bootable system 6 floppy with disk copy 4.2, which I don't have. I'll have to create a new one.

I cleaned SE/30's floppy drive with a special cleaning diskette (I thought I killed it months ago with a ruined disk) but I haven't done that to the Plus.

I have a problem with my SE/30's hard disk, and I can't really use system 6 with it. It seems the previous owner (the original owner) used a password on the machine and never gave it to me?

Sometimes when I remove the hard disk I can't boot it at all, sometimes it boots but tells me this disk is protected and I can't access anything, it just sits there. Although I can see the desktop and the icons I can't do anything with them. Only time solves this problem. For example, I tried for 2 days, it still wouldn't work. One week later, it booted just fine. That's really strange

It happens also when I boot it with system 6 and rebuild the desktop afterwards. So system 6 is out with this machine.

I will be getting a Jaz drive soon I hope so I can save the contents of the hard drive before it's too late...

I got Disk Copy 4.2 from the Garden. I will try once more.
