Well this is weird. After fiddling with the floppy drive for a while, I realized that something was amiss with it.

After tryingto get a floppy in the system actually booted from the HD. So the stuck drive was actually causing it it overlook the HD because it thought it had a floppy in the drive. So it boots to a locked system. Cant write to the hard disk but to one temp folder. The system is 6.0.8 and seems to be original. But it was locked down as if it were for a remote company worker.

I had troubles getting it to read floppies. After a while I have it reading floppies fine but the floppy drive will need replacing.

So I did some googling and found the the custom option under the apple hd sc setup had a lock disk function. I used it to unlock the hard disk. Then I used file find to find and move some other extensions that preform other lock functions.

So now the system can boot freely but some files are hidden like the system folder. Any ideas?
