From what I've seen, it's not uncommon for non-Apple drives to not be
recognized--I'm not surprised that Apple's software would refuse to see it
either. Your best bet would be to get ahold of something like
SilverLining--it'll set up the drive so it'll be usable by your 'book.

You may be right, I'm going by memory. I seem to remember having a
problem on my 5300--but I could be confusing it with the 520 also. :)
On the other hand it might not hurt to have him try a different drive
utility and see what it does for the drive.

Thanks for the advice. I don't think I want to take chances with that
Seagate drive. Probably, the technology in that drive is just too much for
the 3400c controller to handle without choking. They really weren't meant to
be installed in PowerBooks made in 1997, after all.

Hello,
On my 3400, the Apple HD Set-Up from OS 9.1 on an
external SCSI HDD recognizes this drive - Seagate
ST9816AG; putting the same app on a Disk Tools 7.6.1
floppy will not allow the drive to be visible -

Does anyone know how high an OS can be installed
without updating the HDD driver? Currently using the
7.6 driver with OS 8.1., using a non-Apple HDD.
I still have the original 1.3 Gig (PB 3400).
Thanks

AFAIK, there's no reason
Thanks, Eric. That OS 9 tidbit might explain the
problems I had with booting from the internal HDD with
a partition that used OS 9 with updated driver.

Could this be a termination problem in the SCSI chain? Have you

The next idea is to try another internal HDD. Any
ideas welcome. I searched 437 entries on alltheweb.com
for powerbook 3400 troubleshooting and opened at
least one third of them.
What is fail to boot? Flashing disk icon, or just sitting there
blank-screened?
Did you zap the PRAM? I think
Hi Brian,
'Fail to boot' means that the cursor appears, but the
screen remains blank, and the internal HDD is not
making the usual spinning noises. The flashing disk
may or may not appear - I realize that is a good sign
as it usually leads to recognition of a system folder

Hi,
I am making an offer on a Hitachi DK239A-65.
I think it may have been intended for an IBM thinkpad
390E because the seller has a mounting kit for it.
I have a powerbook 3400C and would like to know if
this drive will work (the Hitachi website says it is
an ATA-4 type, 9.5 mm thick).
Thanks

We had the same problem last week with an IBM 6.? HDD that we were trying to

was put it in a 2300 we have and formatting it there. We did that and the
drive is working perfectly in my 5300cs now. I hope this helps.

Thanks! I'll try that with a 3400 I have!
