The fellow who was over tonight told me that most likely the problem was simply that I either had File Sharing turned on, which I don't, or the installer script on the PowerBook 3400c Software Restore CD PREDATES the modern extended drive formatting that is on my internal drive. Its the difference between "Mac OS" and "Mac OS Extended". The installer says the drive is locked because it can't read it. Wrong format. Now thats a relief !!!
