Hi folks, Having a problem here w/ my EIDE drive not mounting when I boot up from my S900. I had been booting up from the EIDE drive running OS 9.1 until last night when I experienced a freeze downloading test image files from the internet in two separate windows while attempting to send an e-mail, all at the same time (while the files were downloading). Guess I won't try that again. When I did a restart I found that the partition on the EIDE drive containing my system had become corrupted and not even Norton or DiskAid could complete the scanning of the volume, let alone repair it. (I didn't have Disk Warrior). So I reinitialized the partition using the Erase function in the Special pull down menu and reinstalled OS9.1 w/ no problems. Except now when I boot up from the S900 running OS8.6, the EIDE drive does not show up on the desktop until I mount it using Hard Disk Tool Kit and then FWB Mounter. If I try to use FWB Mounter first, I get a message saying the device does not seem to have an active driver. But even after the EIDE drive is mounted and I make the partition containing OS9.1 my start up disk, it does not remount on restart and it's the S900 running OS8.6 that finally boots up instead. I didn't have this problem before. Is it because I used the Erase function to clear the partition instead of drive setup? Any ideas what I did wrong and how I might rectify things w/o having to reinitialize the entire drive? Will be grateful for any help.
