Re: Apple Mac SE (AKA Pandora's Box)
while the software to analyse the hard drive finds a Miniscri 20, it can't mount it. David Harris Is the software that you mention Disk First Aid? If yes, which version of it?

Apple Mac SE (AKA Pandora's Box)
Hi: I am the individual with the Mac SE who couldn't get the system to boot up? Well, with the help of J S, I have gotten the system to boot up. Now there is another problem. When I get to the desktop, the SCS HD 20 is not on the desktop. Nor can I find it to access it anywhere. I notice that the light for the hard drive is flashing while the disk drive is running. My concern is what to do next. I have no manuals or any idea where to locate a troubleshooting manual for the SE. So, I can only get the system to work with the floppy disks. Worse that that, while the software to analyse the hard drive finds a Miniscri 20, it can't mount it. I'm guessing that the system software is trying to analyse the floppy disk I inserted. I also get a cable/communications error when trying to analyse the system. Ok, how do I proceed from here? David Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Compact Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/.

Re: Apple Mac SE (AKA Pandora's Box)
Hi, David. I think the matter is simple than you think. As far as I know, the SE doesn't have any problem booting from internal hard drives (given that connections, terminators, etc. are correctly set up). I suppose that you are using an SCSI setup utility to prepare your disk. If you are using Apple HD SC Setup utility, you must know that, unless you patch it (or get a patched version) it won't allow you to prepare non-Apple drives. You can get a patched version of Apple HD SC Setup from my FTP server: ftp://grijan.cjb.net:21000/Macintosh/Software/Utilities/hd_sc_setup_735-patched.sea.bin If this patched Apple HD SC Setup doesn't see the drive (which I doubt), you most likely have a hardware problem. If it sees it, you can try the Update option, and if it doesn't work, you can try the Initialize option. This may get your drive working.

No more banging my head about this until I get the right (not internal but) external HD, which I have no clue what Apple would have shipped with it, if it were sold new. Can anyone offer me any suggestions as to what I should look for? What are the types of external that work best with the SE?
