I moved the drive to a different G3, and ran Diskwarrior instead. The drive will not boot at all now, I get a "No bootable HFS partition" message. When I boot from the Norton Utlities or the DiskWarrior CD, the G3 can see the drive. When I boot from the G3 software disk from Apple, it cannot. I wanted re-initialize it, but with the System software disk unable to see the drive, that's not happening. > This sounds like a HDD problem to me, moving it had nothing to do > with the problem sounds like a Maxtor issue The next time I open the case, I'll look to see what brand the drive is.

The beige desktop is a 300 mhz unit with 384 meg of RAM installed, if that is any help. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
