Initialization failed

Another problem. I have a backup Lombard (which is what the dead HD is in) but when I try to burn to CD in Toast, I keep getting initialization failed because the disk is locked. I've tried many blanks and they all do the same thing. Willi -- G-Books is sponsored by

dead HD

My 60GB not very old HD started whirring this morning and, bottom line, the computer no longer recognizes it. TechTool doesn't see it, either. I've been trying everything, and once or twice it opened up on restart and I was able to drag some files to a Compact Flash card, but when I tried to b

lombard display problems again

I didn't get any answers when I first put this up, so I'll try again.My Lombard display is going crazy when the top is at 90 degrees or more. In fact, it has to be tilted forward now in order for me to be able to read the screen. The display looks frazzled and sometimes as though it's rolling, t

taking apart Lombard revisited

What I have is a CD I bought from a Mac Users Group a couple of years ago, not an actual manual, but doesn't the user's manual have instructions for upgrading RAM, requiring removing the keyboard? BTW, thanks for the help, everybody. I don't know why my instructions weren't for the Lombard. I

Orinoco

Anybody know anything about Orinoco wireless? I have zero experience with any wireless, but my neighbor has DSL with Orinoco software and wants me to buy a card from him and share the cost. First, is this legal/ethical? Second, when I tried to install the software on my Lombard, it says it's mi
