Not just mostly dead... Very dead. Deceased. No more. Pushing up the
daisies. Joined the Holy Choir Invisible...
G3/233 DT: 2 Gig Int ATA HD (orig-- the dead one), 700 MB Int SCSI HD
(pulled from a 7100-- a bit grumpy but usable), Ext SCSI Zip 100, Ext
SCSI CDRW (Yamaha/OWC 8x8x24), USB PCI card, 224 MB RAM. [I think that's
everything]
At first it was just acting wierd. Then files started getting corrupted.
Then I did a full backup. Then I tried to boot and got the Question Mark.
Then I ran DiskWarrior, Norton Utilities and TechTool Pro-- all of them
saw it but couldn't help it. Then I figured I may as well reformat and
restore from my backup (thank you Retrospect!). I was poking around in
Drive Setup and saw an option to mount the drive... which I did... And it
showed up on the desktop no problem... I was even able to copy my
Retrospect data off of it (wuch easyer than rebuilding a catalog from the
CDs). Then I tried to reboot...
AND IT WAS GONE!!! Didn't show up in drive setup. System Profiler could
tell there was a HD there but not any of the info ( the Vendor, Revision
number, Product ID, Serial number, etc were all blank-- these fields had
info in them initialy, even after the drive wouldn't mount).
So now I working off of the 700 MB drive-- which is just set up w/ a
System and email. Is there anything that can be done? Any recomendations
on replacements?
HELP?
