- I am having problems with my Duo Hard drive and I was wondering first of
- all if
- there is anyONE else having similar problems and second if anyone can help.
- Here is the problem. First the equipment.
- Powerbook 230 4/120 (original RAM and HD). I reformatted the drive with
- the
- DiskTools floppy to take advatage of the unused HD space that Apple leaves.
- System 7.1 (only system that will run). Extensions: Quicktime,
- Autoremounter,
- (both are supplied from Apple), Behierarchic1.05 (hierarchic menues),
- Superclock 3.9.1, PopChar2.5.2, SCSIProbe 3.5. That is it. I also have a
- duo dock and monitor.
-
- Here is the problem. Everytime I use the power interrupt button in the
- back I
- loos the HD. It gets corrupted and won't boot. I have to use MacTools2.0
- to recover it. It is a total pain. It shuts down normally under the
- finder, but whenever I am forced to do a hard shutdown (button in back). I
- loose the HD.
- I ended it up reformating my HD and installing a virgin system. This
- seemed to
- repair the problem. The HD would survive a hard shutdown. Then it
- happened
- agan last night! Arrgggh. This is very frustrating!!! Any help out
- there?
