I'm pretty new at this, so forgive the truly dumb questions. I have an LC III that won't boot. It used to boot fine, but now the smiley mac face briefly stares at me before turning into the question-marked floppy. I can boot from a floppy and see the drive fine. I can open folders, read files, so on. Not being an expert at Macintosh system health, everything appears normal to me. But when it comes to booting off the HD, nada.
I am sure the drive is SCSI, as that is what the specs of the machine tell me. However, no version of HD setup I have tried recognizes it as a SCSI drive. I tried 7.1 and 7.5.3. So all I can do to it is reinstall the OS on top of the existing format. That is what I did months ago, and it has worked fine until now. Is there another disk app I should be using? Could there be a problem with the drive itself? -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
