Most likely the hard drive has failed due to age. Or maybe the software on the hard drive is damaged. To isolate the problem, I would insert a System 7 disk tools floppy containing Disk First Aid and SCSI Probe. Replacing the hard drive is easy if you have the long handle torx tool. Reloading the software is easy if you have it on floppy disks. For more information, see www.macfaq.org. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
