Initializing Mac II internal hard disk Message-ID: <2477@husc6.UUCP> Date: Tue, 7-Jul-87 03:15:37 EDT Article-I.D.: husc6.2477 Posted: Tue Jul 7 03:15:37 1987 Date-Received: Thu, 9-Jul-87 04:43:14 EDT Sender: news@husc6.UUCP Reply-To: fry@huma1.UUCP (David Fry) Distribution: world Organization: Harvard Math Department Lines: 20 After having my Mac II for two weeks I finally dug up a monochrome screen to borrow for a month or so until my color comes. My problem deals with initializing the internal 40 meg hard disk. Every time I run the HD Setup application (vesion 1.3) it claims to not see the SCSI ID 0 drive (or any drive, for that matter). But the lights on the drive flash at startup and the head bounces around a lot, indicating that at least something is working. The shareware SCSI cdev for the control panel sees SCSI ID 0 and if I click on UPDATE, the drive's lights flash again. All the cables seem okay inside. Does anyone know of any tricks that can force the installer to see the drive. Command-shift-option or something? Press 'esc' and spin around clockwise 3 times with my tongue stuck out? I'd hate to think I have to take it back to the dealer now that I've finally got a screen.
