This could be as simple as reloading the disk drivers. I would do this:
Boot the machine from the 8.1 CD. Open Drive Setup and see if it sees the drive at all. It may list it as "<not mounted>". If so, click on it and choose the menu to reload the disk drivers. Restart. Does drive show up? If not, repeat with 8.6 CD. Let us know what happens.

Hello all,
I am still having problems with my G3 7100/240. The hard drive has completely disappeared from the desktop, even using Norton or OS 8.6 as start up disks. I am now at a complete loss.
Bear in mind that this is a the original paltry little 160 MB HD and it was running OS 8.1 until I decided to upgrade to 8.6. Never got the chance, the hard disk vanished when I restarted and held down the "C" key.
Ideas, suggestion, prayers!! This is my 5 year olds Jumpstart computer.
TIA,
Dan
Thanks,
Glenn
