"On the older duos like I have you only have to remove the keyboard to unplug the internal drive from the mother board. This is just done long enough to boot off the other drive, set the startup disk, and then you can reconnect the internal. Sometimes when you do this you have to reboot a couple of times before it boots for the external. I'm not sure why this is."
I have a Duo 2300 with a 1.1 gb IDE drive. I recently bought a 2.1 gb drive that I'd like to format, but I'm having trouble with SCSI Disk Mode. How can I format that drive and transfer my data from my old drive? I don't have a working Duo Dock but have a minidock and a floppy drive. Can you format IDE drives by connecting one to the motherboard? When I've connected my duo to a 6100 with SCSI disk mode, I get the SCSI icon on the duo but the duo doesn't mount on the 6100. Norton says that the duo partitions are irreparably damaged and I should recover the data from them, but the computer boots fine and everything works well. I have repaired both partitions on the duo with Disk First Aide. I've tried to mount the duo on the 6100 using drive setup but I keep getting a Type 3 error message. SCSI Probe hasn't worked. When I've tried FWB MOUNTER the cursor keeps flashing FWB but the program never really starts up. Frank C. Modica 501 E.
