2300c Duo Hard Drive issues - 2008/01/23 23:14 I am having trouble upgrading the hard drive in my 2300c duo.

I pulled the working IDE drive from my PB2400c (1.3g w/ OS 9.2.2 installed via OS9 Helper) and installed it in the duo. However the duo just comes up with the blinking disk on startup.

I tried using Disk Tools via floppy. Interestingly enough I got the message to either eject or initialize the "48.6 mb" drive. I had this message come up at least 50 times in a row until I was finally able to somehow escape into the finder.

Disk Tools does not see the internal drive at all.

Disk First Aid sees a "Ram" disk but is unable to do anything with the disk - such as repair or verify.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
