Hard Disk Toolkit mounted the Zip Drive!!!!! :O ;D

Silverlining Lite will probably do it. It's a control panel that you stick in your control panels folder. Just download it from here, unstuff it, drop it in your control panels…

The Zip Disks are HFS. I'll be trying Hard Disk Toolkit, Anibus, and Silverlining tonight.

When you mount the zip media you are using on the 4400, do they mount as PC formatted zips with the pc designation and built in translation or as Mac formatted zips?

I don't know. I've never owned or used a Zip Drive. I don't know anything about them. I have an EZ135 drive that I used to use. I used Silverlining Lite to mount those disk…

The Zip Drive not mounting doesn't have to do with the non-Apple HD. My Macintosh LC III with an Apple HD can't mount it either. (The Macintosh LC III doesn't ever have instability…

I reset the PRAM, and the Quadra is now stable with/without SCSI Manager 4.3. Zip Disks still don't mount. What shall I do next? Do you think I should erase the hard drive and put…

I should be getting 2 of those and a powerbook 145b from the friend that gave me my powerbook 150. I can't wait!

The green screen is fairly logical, as Amiga's won't start without ChipRAM The 4000 doesn't need a battery to work, mine's never had one (I got the guy I bought it off to remov…

I'll try right now.

First get a complete backup. Then defragment the disk in case it's that. Then we need to get you a competent formatter that will test and map out sector defects and update the fa…

I just found this article. It says at the end that the Quadra 700 has a flashing question mark problem. Anybody know about that?

During a previous career in broadcast television back in the early 1990s, I sat in on an Avid demonstration, and I recall our station's chief engineer inquiring about the price, be…

Shall I break out the 1995/1996 issues of MacWorld and start price checking?

Bunsen - those little ridges on the bottom right hand corner slide to the right. You will probably have to apply more force than you like. Press inward and out to the right with yo…

In your position I might bust out Hard Disk Speed Tools and see if it could help(it has helped a few times in the past with HDs and my CD-RW).Were the old versions of Disk Warrior …

I have bad news. The Quadra 700 can't boot up with SCSI Manager 4.3 even without the Zip Drive connected. The thing is that the macintosh is rocksolid when actually working with no…

Well, looking at the history thread to which you directed me, that Quadra has an attitude. Until you have a data backup maybe it would be better if all further rescue attempts be …

I ran Disk First Aid on the HD. Here are the results. Code: Checking disk “Macintosh HD”. Checking disk volume. Checking extent BTree. Checking extent file. Checking catalo…

I was able to regain my stability by: 1.Disabling SCSI Manager 4.3 and restarting 2.Updating the HD Driver using the Patched HD SC Setup 3.Restarting with All Extensions Enabled…

Duh, I should have added Apple's Disk First Aid to the list, it fixes things that Norton Utilities does not. I have updated drivers using Apple's Setup tool, and even MacOS versio…

Will it manually mount from SCSI Probe 4.3? Click to expand... No. Norton Utilities, also any other boot startup, if you can get them to see it, then designate HD as sta…
