Hi Folks, Hi Mary,
Yesterday I install installed 8.6 on a friends Power Center Pro 604e/210 . He bought the computer new with 7.6.1 installed. I booted from an 8.6 CD and started a "clean install"; the installation stopped early into the process and I was informed that it couldn't be installed on a drive not supported by Apple. . . or words to that effect. Observing that the "continue" button was still active, I clicked continue and the install surprised me and ran its course. It seems to be functioning O.K. . . but I'm getting a little apprehensive. I opened his new OS 8.6 Drive Setup wondering if I could "update" the Disk and got this message: "cannot modify a disk in an unsupported drive". I see that he has a drive supported (if that's the right terminology) by FWB and the Toolkit is there in its folder. So I assume this means that FWB sets up a drive very differently to what Apple's Drive Setup would? I haven't heard too much good about the FWB Setup on the PCI list (which I'm not subscribed to at present) but the FWB Toolkit driving my CD-ROM connected to my old Centris never failed me - although it would pop up inconsequential-type messages when inserting a CD?? Should the OS 8.6 be fine regardless of the Disk Driver - again, is that the right terminology/understanding? Do I "update" with FWB in a similar fashion as one would update with Drive Setup? (should I?)
