You don't mention whether a new system was installed before copying
data back to the HD. Might be a start. Myself, I've only gotten the symtoms you describe w/bad or poorly seated RAM, dosen't seem likely tho' if it boots OK from a floppy. Rick
hello fellow listers,
following a system freeze and forced restart, my 540c won't start up any longer from the hard drive (OS 7.7.5 installed). It does show the smiling mac, but soon after I get a tree note tone, the black screen with the dead mac under which apper the following numbers: 0000000F 00000066 The machine would start up from diskette just fine. I've run disk first aid off the diskette and reports no problems. Then I've backed up the disk, wiped and reformatted it and copied back the data. No improvement, also starting up with extensions off. What to try next to revive the machine before having to go to some degree of disassembly??
cheers and thanks for any hints, gianfranco
