Ghosting Flop
Hi all, In an LC, a flop was removed the wrong way. Now that particular flop is Ghosting: 'pleaseinsert disk Btae.d' Problems are: a) the LC is not here; I have to give instructions per mail. b) the flop that's haunting the LC is no more c) I don't know the cure :) What can be done to get the LC back to normal?

Re: ghosting flop
mart-- I reread your description several times and still couldn't get it straight in my mind: are you referring to the floppie storage disc that was written to, or the floppie reader that took the discs? you realize-- both discs and readers can be removed, and therefore removed the wrong way! is the message that's showing up corrupted, showing up when the reader is empty, or when a disk is inserted and attempted to be read? is it doing it with every disc that goes in? or with just one disc in particular? just trying to get the idea clear in my own head first. janet http://community.webtv.net/mensabrains/BADCODE -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: ghosting flop
He ejected, rather than put away, a floppy disk. The system is asking for the disk to be reinserted as there were files in use when it was ejected or because the ghosted image of the disk is still on the desktop. When he tried to put it away, the system asks for it to be reinserted so it can be unmounted. It isn't clear to me why he doesn't just comply, reinsert the disk and unmount it... Flop is apparently a Dutch diminutive (nickname, more or less) for floppy disk. This seems to be a near universal Netherlands behavior -- they call themselves Dutchies, for example. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way in English and we become confused.

Re: ghosting flop
Oh, right. I forgot to reconsider destroyed once I figured out what a flop was. I've had designers send me publications with links pointing to files on their drives. Billions of cmdperiod presses will eventually work, as you suggested. Stubborn, that Mac OS.

I was talking about the floppy disk itself (because I know there was a floppy disk called 'Btae.d' in the package I shipped with the LC.

Flop is apparently a Dutch diminutive (...0 and we become confused. I'll stick to floppy disk :)) And I've just posted a message to the owner with a billion cmd-period prescription. Hope it works!
