Hi List!
I have a straight SE (not an SE/30), and it has an 80 mb HD that I
want to put a 2 GB drive into. I can't get the SE to recognize the
drive. The drive was in a 7300 running OS 9.x in it's previous life,
so I put the new drive into an old PowerComputing tower running 8.6,
formatted the HD in Standard (not extended), and then ran the 7.5.3
installer, installing a copy of 7.5.3 on the 2 GB drive that would
work on any computer.
I put the new drive in place of the 80 MB, and turn it on, and it
gives me the sick mac face followed by
0000000F
00000002
Any ideas? THe HD is a quantum Fireball ST 3.5 series.
You may need to zero the drive. I had this problem, the only way around
it was to download formatting tools from Gamba's page here
http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/hd.html, completely zero the drive and
then format using a patched HD SC Setup as I dont like the need to use
Lido or silverlining where its un-needed.
I think I used a MicroNet and formatterOne combo but it was some time
ago, one to zero the drive, one to remove the rubbish left behind by the
first. Sorry you'll need to find the best combo yourself as Gambas page
has changed since I used it.
Good luck, its a very easy upgrade which will speed up any old mac in
the same way replacing the aweful 5200rpm drives in powermacs does.
Cheers
