That does not work, even with 1 Partition selected, the 5mb Unallocated Partition is still there. But, again trying to initialize it just fails. I did manage to "unlock" this segment with the Customize Volume option, which removed the Mac wanting to erase the disk when mounting it. So I thought all was good. I then did a MacOS 8.5 install from CD (running on a slim OS from a 16mb Compact Flash card and my PowerCD), everything seem to go just fine, I was even able to drop a disk image of the 8.5 CD on there for later. However, after selecting the disk as "Startup Disk" and rebooting, I was back to square one: An error saying their is a Bus error and to restart with extensions off, which then produces the same error. So my guess is that this 5mb partition is getting in the way of the Mac using the disk as a startup volume. Help, again. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
