Hi G-listers,

Good news, but I am so thoroughly bamboozled my head is literally 
spinning with shock, puzzlement and relief. Here's what happened -- does 
anyone have any idea why?

Bottom line -- my missing HD just reappeared just as suddenly as it 
disappeared!! In fact, I'm booted up on it now.  Here's what happened:

As I'd said I was going to do in reply to Greg Burkman's praise of 
DiskWarrior, I was on my way to check out Alsoft's website. I clicked my 
desktop shortcut for Netscape to go on the web when I got a weird error 
message and I couldn't quit out of Netscape. Restart from the Finder's 
Special Menu wouldn't reboot the computer either. Then I got the idea 
that since it was a Netscape error yesterday that immediately 
precipitated the HD disappearance, maybe I didn't want to "lose" my other 
OS 9 HD also. I went to the control panels to select my OS 8 HD as the 
startup disk, and lo and behold --

THE MISSING HARD DRIVE WAS LISTED!!!!!!!! AND ALL THREE OF THEM ARE ON MY 
DESKTOP!!!

Apple System Profiler lists them all again also. :-D

But.....how could this be?

I'm getting rid of that desktop shortcut and will boot Netscape the way I 
used to. And (yes, Greg!) I'll still check into DiskWarrior just in case 
I don't get so lucky the next time.

~Yersinia.
