If you tried to access an HFS+ partitions using older pre OS 8.1, all you'd see is a locked hard drive with one single text file 'Where_has_all_my_file_gone?' or something like that. I run into that quite often because I kept forgettingt which external HD I have was formatted with HFS+ and one of my Duo doesn't have OS 8.1 I have no idea why the LC would give that error message. The only think I could think of is a 3rd party partition software used on 1400cs is conflicting with LC or the partition on the 1400cs is about to fail. > On Tuesday, July 2, 2002, at 06:32 AM, Jim Lucas wrote: > > > I have two offices.
