Tom, thats right .. basically when I power on the machine the floppy the step motor moves the head forward until it starts clicking in place and wont' stop. It didn't do that before, only after I had lubricated some of the components so that a floppy could be inserted and ejected .. From what you're saying this is a common condition .. It might be best to just find a replacement drive. Thanks to the other person for the tip on using my SE for writing out the DiskCopy images .. I was going to try to use my 840av .. now I won't ;-) I wonder, could I just use my SE's floppy in the Lisa? I have a Lisa 2/10 with the H rom version. Ahh, to the other person who responded, my disk isn't suffering from stick-tion. It seeks when told to boot but reports an error. Anyone have a spare floppy? (or could I use my SE's ?) What about hard disk alternatives? I'm only guessing that when I do eventually get LisaOS to boot on floppy I'll be able to install it on the hard drive. -- LisaList is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
