Nice //e...

An error #39 is generally bad/unreadable media.

The first thing I would try for now is put the Focus back in slot 7, and slow
down the Zip Chip by pressing escape while turning the computer on. Even then,
the Focus might not spin up fast enough to be ready so you might have to reset,
pr#7. The focus should work with the Zip running at full speed but let's test
it.

If the drive doesn't boot, and you can't access the volume even after booting
from another drive, then you might consider getting a copy of ProSel and see if
it can work some magic.
