Is "Clean Install Assistant" a 3rd party utility? That may be the
problem. You can always do a clean install of OS9.1, especially if you
reformat the drive first with the Apple Utility. Then just move the
needed items from your 8.6 folder on the other drive to the new 9.1
folder on the second drive. Or, if you have the space you can instal
both 9.1 and leave 8.6 on the same drive- just use the OS9.1 CD to do
the install, not some other software. Do a Clean Install of 9.1, then
transfer files as needed from 8.6 to 9.1. Paul C.

The FWB driver upgrade should have solved your problem. You did instal OS9.1

OTC software, not one borrowed from someone's i-mac or ? The OEM version is
the least problematic.
I bought the 9.1 disk from OWC who claimed it would work but it says on the
disk that it's an iMac disk. So is that the problem? Is there some iMac
component I can just remove from extensions or something?
It would also help if you could identify the make and model of your two SCSI
drives, as there may be
known issues with certain drives. I assume the SCSI id's are set correctly and
there are no conflicts?
My two drives are IBM UltraStar, DDRS-34560 and DNES-309170 which have both
been working fine. Everything's set correctly.
almost sounds like you let the installer overwrite the FWD drivers, which
could cause problems with
certain "excluded" drives-do you remember which boxes you checked at the start
of the OS9.1 instal?
I had 8.6 on both disks and that worked ok. So I installed 9.1 on my 2nd
disk using a utility called Clean-Install Assistant that's supposed to keep
track of various system components I've added.
One thing that might be a major change and help you
is to reformat your hard disks with Apple's Disk Utility- which is on
the OS 9 install disk. This will make your drive Apple friendly and you
can stop using FWB HDTK.
I didn't know that I could use the Apple Disk Utility. When I install the
new system it automatically refused to update the drivers because they
weren't Apple.
Being naturally cautious about upgrades I wanted to keep 8.6 available on
one disk in case things didn't work smoothly with 9.1. One thing that
occurred to me is that I haven't upgraded the driver on the 8.6 disk yet.
Maybe that's interfering somehow.
Anyhow, thanks for the help.
