Hi all! In the process of preparing my stuff for sale, I decided to format the Fujitsu (Apple OEM) 4.3 GB drive in my Duo 2300c, because I wanted to sell it separately. I selected the zero writing options in the initialization options in Drive Setup, and proceeded with the format/initialization. After making some progress, I felt that the progress bar was kinda stucked. Drive Setup was still responding, the ball cursor was still spinning, but it looks like the progress was a lot slower. It was about half done with the drive. So, I decided to go to bed and let it run all night. This morning, upon checking up the Duo, I had a message in the message portion of the Drive Setup window saying that initialization failed, and the Duo was locked up. I've tried to restart, but the drive wouldn't show up in the Finder. I've went to Drive Setup again, but the drive wouldn't appear in the drives list. The odd thing I did notice is when I reboot, or restart the Duo. The drive starts spinning, but I can hear it spinning very slowly. At least, slower than what it used to be. After a little while, I can hear the difference. So, now, I'm kinda stucked with this drive. Anyone knows what I could try? I'm forced to boot off the Mac OS 9 system CD for now. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance! -Laurent. -- ===================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ********************** Usual disclaimers apply ********************** "Heuristics are bug ridden by definition.
