Yupp--see the two panels/volumes. But the only choice I'm given for formatting is the MS-DOS that the drive came with. I may just chuck it all and reformat it as one large HFS drive.

WallStreet OS X on external HD?
It's been a couple of years since I worked on a WallStreet PB. I remember noticing that the WS will start from an external disk connected to the PC Card slot whether it is selected or not; IOW, if there is a disk with a viable System connected to the PC Card slot, the WS cannot be forced to start from its internal HD. However, this was with the Classic (OS 8/9) System. Now I'm finding that the WS will NOT start from an external HD with OS X connected to the PC Card slot, even if the internal HD is removed. In fact, attempting to do so will sometimes screw up the WS so badly that it won't start from an internal disk either thereafter until a PMU reset is performed (fn-ctrl-shift-power). I first ran into this yesterday with a WS (300MHz) someone brought to me for repair. After spending a couple hours researching all the necessary updates to bring 10.2.8 to optimum (Apple gives different stories in different places), I installed 10.2.8 on an HD in a PC Card case, connected it to the WS (it mounted, though the System on the internal HD is not well), then selected it in Startup Disk, and Restarted. The PB wouldn't start. And, after disconnecting the PC Card case, it now wouldn't start from its internal HD; I had to reset the PMU to wake it up again. Somewhere in the process (I don't remember the exact sequence) I even installed the external HD in a SCSI case (with an IDESCSI adapter board) and tried to start from it via the SCSI port on the back of the WS. Same result. So I turned to a WS (300MHz) I have, and got the same results. I thought it might be something funny about the Toshiba HD I was using in the external case, so I removed the internal HD (with 10.2.8 9.2.2) from the WS, put it in the PC Card case, and tried to start the WS. After the startup chord, it showed the OS 9 happy face for a few seconds, then restarted itself (complete with startup chord), then did the same thing again, and again It appeared that it was trying to start from the OS 9 on the disk, then finding that the disk was set to start from OS X, so restarting to switch to OS X, then finding it couldn't start from OS X, so returning to the OS 9, and so on in an endless loop. I put the HD back in the PB, and it started just fine in 10.2.8. I switched it to 9.2.2, and it started okay also. So then I again removed the internal HD (now set to start in 9.2.2), put it in the external PC Card case, connected it to the PB, and it started fine, in 9.2.2. Conclusion: It appears that the WallStreet PowerBook cannot be run from an external disk using OS X 10.2.8. At least this is true of the two I have on hand, one of which (mine) has no other problems I know about. Can anyone confirm this from your experience? -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Partitioning and formatting
AARGH. Tried reformatting as one partition, extended HFS. Nothing happened. Now it won't reformat, partition, first-aid fails, repair fails. Basically the drive refuses to do anything. I'm going to try a reformat with a peecee tomorrow, but I hate it when electronics decide they don't like me. :) Later.Howard -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Question about a Powerbook G3
Ok first admission I am a Mac Newbie. I was given a Powerbook G3 which is running Mac OS 8.1. It has a 2Gb hard drive and 160Mb RAM. It is all Black (black keyboard) and the apple logo on the top is white. Underneath it says Powerbook G3 Series My question is this, is it Old World or New World? The reason I ask is I am trying to get it to boot to a Ubuntu Linux live CD and despite the key presses I make (after Googling C, Cmd-Opt-Shift-Del, Opt) it flat refuses to boot to the CD. It does however boot to the MacOs 8 disk I have. So I tried to reset the Pram, (Cmd-Opt-P-R) No joy. (what is the Pram anyway?) So how do I find out? And once I do, how do I boot the Linux CD?

Re: Mail app the bounce feature
I like to Bounce 'em, too, but most of the spam that I get has faked return addresses, so the Bounce doesn't go through, and I get one more message in my inbox to deal with.
