Greetings,
I am having problems with an 80 MB SCSI Hard Drive connected to an Apple II
Hi Speed SCSI card on a ROM III GS. I am using the Apple II SCSI utilities
to format the 80 MB Hard Drive. The problem I have is that when I format
the Hard Drive, it comes up saying that I have 8 Hard Drives (4 pairs of
two 32MB partitions, each named HD.PARTITION.1 and HD.PARTITION.2). When I
boot into GS/OS System 6.0.1, I get an error message 6 times, saying that
there is already a partition named HD.PARTITION.1 and HD.PARTITION.2 and
that I need to rename or eject it. Is there any way I can dump the 8
partitions and get them down to just 2? I haven't had any luck trying to
reformat the drive using the Apple II SCSI utilities. Can I reformat it
using a Mac or anything?
Thanks,
Jon Lipp
