I'm not sure but it might be possible that when the drive was formatted, no OS 9 driver was installed on it so that the drive cannot be accessed from OS 9. If that would be the case, the only solution, I think, would be to reformat the drive from OS X system CD and make sure that the OS 9 driver is installed. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] fish n.: [Adelaide University, Australia] 1.
