This may not work since the bad partition was created with Silver Lining, but
it's worth a try:
- Boot from a physical drive OTHER than the one with the bad partition
(e.g., a Norton or DiskWarrior CD)
- Launch Drive Setup
- A window will come up with all the drives
- Click on the drive with the bad volume to select it
- Click on the Functions menu at the top of the screen
- Drag down and select "Volume Settings..."
- a window will come up with a list of the volumes on the selected
drive
- click on the volume that you want to not mount
- In the "Volume Settings" section, make sure the "Automount on
startup" is NOT checked
- Close all the windows and quit Drive Setup
- Reboot, and see what happens.
I've used this to skip mounting two SCSI drives on my 8600/Newer G3, since
mounting them greatly increases startup time and my 80GB IDE drive is more than
adequate by itself.
Best of luck!
