Your Classic II won't run System 6. It's gotta be 7. As far as that shrinking drive, was it partitioned for two? Or was there a hidden password on the boot sector? If you know what formatted it initially, you'll need to reuse it to get back that extra 40MB. Jeff -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
