> I've been trying to reformat an external drive to use as a "master" for several non-networked low-end Macs I maintain. I hooked it up to my SE/30 because it is the most convenient to work with, but it doesn't see the HD. > Thanks in advance, > Tim If this SE/30 has a newer O.S.it ought to recognize maybe up to a 2 gig drive. If not, partition it to two-one gig drives. With the external attatched and the SE/30 on, put in a formatting disk of third-party extraction, like Lido 7.56, downloadable free off a Google search. See if you get the external to mount. If not, maybe it's formatted for HFS+ for Power Macs, not HFS for 68k Macs. You'd just have to reformat it. Then it ought to be useable.
