Here is the set-up of the hardware that I have ;
- 1 x Apple Macintosh IIci
- 8 x 16Mb 30 pin SIMMS (70ns)
- 1 x Seagate ST32151N 50pin Hard Disk Drive with Apple Logo
- 1 x External Apple CD-ROM 600e
I having problems with Formatting an Seagate ST32151N with an Apple
Macintosh IIci & OS7.5/7.6 + Anubis 2.54.
Is the process of event that occurred.
1. Received an Seagate ST32151N from a Supplier that hade already
pre-formatted.
2. Installed into IIci, Installed Apple Mac OS 7.5 - No Problems through
booting from Floppy Disk (Disk Tools 1 - OS.7.5)
3. Installed Adaptec Toast 3.5.3 & starting to have problems with the
Application.
4. Attempted to perform an clean install of Mac OS7.6
- Used Disk Tools 1 - OS7.6 (68K SCSI HD Floppy)
- Apple HD SC Setup vB1-7.3.5 used to perform Initialise
Disk performed the Format, Verify, but came up with the following error
message ;
"The Disk could not be initialised - Unable to write to disk (Continue)"
- On Selecting "Continue", the Disk Icon disappeared from Desktop
5. Attempted to perform an clean install of Mac OS7.5
- Used Disk Tools 1 - OS7.5 (
- Apple HD SC Set-up vB1-7.3.2 used to perform Initialise
Disk performed the Format, Verify, but came up with the following error
message ;
"The Disk could not be initialised - Unable to write to disk (Continue)"
- On Selecting "Continue", the Disk Icon disappeared from Desktop
At this point, I thought that the disk could not be initialised using Apple
HS SC Setup, therefore I thought I would use a 3rd Party product - Anubis
2.54
6. Booted the Apple Macintosh IIci using a Bootable OS7.6 CD-ROM
- Used Anubis 2.54 from Floppy Disk
Disk performed Format
Disk performed Initialise
Disk performed Partition
Disk performed Install
- Disk Icon appeared on Desktop
7. Attempted to perform an clean install of Mac OS7.6
- All Option Selected for Install
- System Installed, But during Install - the install froze, no mouse or
keyboard were
operational - therefore no choice but to perform an hard reset.
8. Booted the Apple Macintosh IIci using a Bootable OS7.6 CD-ROM
- Used Anubis 2.54 from Floppy Disk
Disk performed Format (O.K)
Disk performed Initialise
(O.K - Writing Boot Partition)
(O.K - Installing driver & Icon on Disk)
(Failed - Testing Blind Writes)
- The driver will be installed with Blind Writes disabled
- Error Writing Driver
Has anybody any ideas of how I can fix this problem, help would be much
appreciated ?
Many Thanks
Geraint Searle
