Hi Mike,
I ran into a similar problem when I moved up from my 7300 (with a promax
33) controller to my B&W. Basically (and this is just supposition) Classic
deals with hard drives differently than OSX. If you still have your ide
card and placed your drive back on it you would probably see that it would
mount in Classic. When I moved my old 10gig to my B&W I had to reformat it
after pulling everything off of it that I wanted. I would assume that it
has something to do with how ide cards tricked the older PCI macs into
seeing the drive as a SCSI drive. Now that it's hooked directly up to the
ide bus without the card as a go between Classic can't recognize it as it's
"looking" for a ide drive on the ide bus whereas OSX doesn't care and
probably assumes that any drive that's hooked up to the ide bus is a proper
ide drive. I'm afraid I don't know of any workarounds, other than the
reformat thing, but I hope this helps.
Thanks,
I was afraid it would come down to that.
Now all I have to do is somehow backup all my data.
Mike
