I recently installed an Apple HiSpeed SCSI card on a friend's
Rom01. I set up the 105 mg HD on my RamFAST, then installed
it on his GS/Apple SCSI.
At bootup to the finder, after showing partitions 1 through 4,
there is then a dialog box showing that there is already a
partition named "HD1" and that this [spurious] partition
must be renamed "HD12." If I choose EJECT instead of RENAME,
it then continues to give the same message for
each of the other partitions, for each slot, going from device 0-3,
slot 2, through slot 7. If I EJECT all 24 spurious partitions,
then everything functions normally from that point on.
I tried running Apple SCSI Utilities to verify partitions.
It shows 8 partitions, named HD1, HD2, HD3, HD4, HD1, HD2, HD3, HD4.
When I try to verify any of the partitions, I get the message
"bad boot block" and the program locks up. I have tried this
with the original version [1986?] of the SCSI Utilities, and the
last one [1993?], which specifically mentions the HiSpeed SCSI card.
Is there anything I can do short of repartitioning the entire
drive on the Apple SCSI card and then reinstalling all the programs?
TIA
