At some time after creation, in association with no other event that I can recall, the "regular" OS 9 partition failed to boot. I had to revert to the old 4GB hdd to boot, after which I could see the <8GB partition but not the large second one.
I tried Norton Utilities (v. 5?), Disk First Aid, Disk SEtup, etc, to no avail. The partition could not be recovered. Surface tests reported no errors, as I recall.
The time is well past when I should move the drive to another machine or initialize it and start over with the G3. But I fear that whatever happened may recur.
Any thoughts on what might cause a partition to die and how to prevent it from happening again?
Thanks! Eric
