- My brother is having a real problem with his Mac SE. His
- daughter shut it off in the middle of the shutdown sequence a few
- weeks ago. Since then, it does not recognize the hard disk as a
- startup disk when powered on. He boots it from a floppy, then
- chooses restart from the options menu. After doing this two or
- three times, the machine will recognize the hard disk and boot
- from it.
-
- The only other symptom that he knows is that he can't rebuild the
- desktop (though he's using system 6, and I gave him the way to do
- this using system 7; maybe my directions were wrong).
-
- Any ideas what it could be? Please respond directly to me; I
- don't usually read these groups.
