You wouldn't be running MacOS X 10.2.4 would you? The reason I mention is that your time stamp is 1970 and that's a known bug. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25374 As to the PowerBook 520 - it'll take MacOS 8.1 if you've got that or 7.5x if not. If your drive's 'toast', I have a small collection of 2.5" SCSI drives. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- anything and everything to do with apple macintosh computers http://www.m4mac.com 0208 778 2446 -- Mac UK is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac UK list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-uk.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-uk%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
