If it was set up with Silverlining, and if you still have it, launch it, select that partition, click on options, uncheck 'Mount at startup'
See if that works


If you don't have it, it may still be available at lacie.com. I think latest version is 6.4.8

How can I really keep the volume from mounting without making irreversible

not sure what. Any suggestions?

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!
