What happens if you put it in the external chain, boot from the internal, and simply drag your existing System Folder from the old internal to the new (temporarily external) drive?

Or can you get as far as initializing the disk and having it mount on the Desktop?

The drive is SCSI, a 6G Quantum Fireball under the LaCie label and the jumper
settings for SCSI ident do work as advertised. I say it that way because when I
put it in the external chain as 0 it confuses with the internal HD as expected and
when it is some other ID it is seen OK.


This is really perplexing because when I format with the hacked Apple drive setup
or Lido it seems to do the process just fine but then when it comes time to
install the system the installer (floppy 1) fails & tells you " Installer cannot
copy the file "system" onto the volume, installation cannot continue. Delete file
& start again." I have been through this with both Lido & the hacked Apple
utility.


Any ideas on how to get around this one?

Many thanks

Dave
