Hi Guys
I'm having fits trying to get a HD into my Iici to replace the internal 80Mb
Quantum that is having trouble spooling up.
I have a 6Gb LaCie drive from a System 8 Mac that I'm working with and having
plenty of frustration trying to get a system loaded and running. I am trying
7.5 although I have also tried 7.1 and 7.6 with no more success. I have
tried the LaCie disk tools to set up the HD and now I have tried the patched
Apple HDSC Setup 7.5.3 toolkit & Superbooter but cannot seem to get the
computer to load a system. The details are below, any suggestions please??!!
Attempt to boot from internal HD, get floppy question mark
Boot from Floppy with Superbooter on it.
Machine starts from system on floppy
Says disk unreadable by Mac do you want to initialize (unpartitioned space
from previous attempt to partition)
Go Quit & browse machine, sees partitions previously made
Browse to HDSC Setup 7.5.3 patched & start
Go Test
Test Successful
Initialize Drive - Successful
Shut down for night
Re-start from same floppy & accept suggestion to re-initialize
Fails
Run Patched Apple Setup 7.5.3 & update HD driver.
Runs for a long time & locks up
Cancel out of Program & re-start computer
Re-run initialize, Runs OK
Run HD Partition & create partitions <2Gb
Shut down
Re-start with OS 7.5 Floppy Disk 1
System doesn't find the HD
Re-start with Disk Tools & it says the disk (actually a partition) is
unreadable and wants to initialize it.
Initialize, goes through each of my partitions with this process OK
Shut down & re-start with Sys 7.5 again
Accepts to install on one of the partitions
Hangs up on disk 1 while giving message "Finishing Installation"
Command-Option-Esc still hung.
Hardware re-start
7.5 Install starts from floppy but on a different partition, doesn't see the
one it previously tried to install on
Hangs again!
Note, previously got this far & had it barf (not hang) because it could not
write to the disc or something of the like.
So, any suggestions? What am I missing?
Thanks
Dave
