william-- if i were encountering this, i would drop back to the last known good componenets and eliminate what i could of the questions. you say you swapped out the HD for a bigger one and now the machine says it's not a mac HD. that's pretty clear, but since you're baffled with the new floppy drive (? am I understanding you right? you did say the machine doesn't like the new floppy drive) i would drop back to the previous known working hard drive, and then re test your new floppy drive and cable with it in the machine.
my suspicions are, that you have unwittingly replaced the old HD formatted for mac, with a new bigger one formatted for a PC. just because they might have the same pin connectors doesn't mean they are formatted for the same kind of machine. same for floppy drive, tho the pin connectors are more likely to be obviously consistent with the machine they are meant go with. i think you are going to find that your new floppy drive works fine with the old HD. i think the new HD is PC formatted and if you want to save anything that's on it, you're going to have to move that data off the HD and save it using PC technology before you reformat your bigger HD and bring it into Mac service. but what do i know? i'm new. but that what it sounded like, by what you said you did. janet http://community.webtv.net/mensabrains/BADCODE -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
