In Reply to: mac hard drive failure posted by John on January 23, 1998 at 18:39:12:
: When I boot my Mac Preforma 550, I get a flashing question mark during start up. When I use Disk First Aid from the Utilities disk that came with my computer, it tells me that is sees a problem that it cannot fix. When I tell it to Restore, it tells me that it doesn't see a hard disk to restore to. Does anyone have a solution to my problem. Maybe some can tell me how to reinitialize my hard drive and reinstall the systems files onto it. If so, please post a message here or send me an email at bigj141@aol.com
: Thanks.
You could try another disk repair program. If not, boot off the Performa CD (or your boot disk), open it, and open Drive Setup.
First, update the driver (from the functions menu). Then Initialize the drive. From your msg, it sounds like you can take it from there.
