I am experiencing the following problem: Hardware: Mac IIx, external 330MB disk with 4 Mac Partitions (real ones) on it. Software: System 6.0.4, DeskTop Manager, various INITs Occasionally, while debugging code, I will crash and have to poke the restart switch to reboot. Sometimes one of the formerly mounted partitions will fail to mount, with a "This Disk is Damaged, do you want to Initialize it?" alert. If I restart the machine in Finder mode, with Disk First Aid as the startup application, DFA can read the partition and reports no errors. It still fails to mount, however. SUM utilities can (always) recover ALL the files, correctly. I then rebuild the file system on the partition and copy everything back. I have used several different drivers with the drive, including SuperMac (who originally sold the drive) and lately MicroNet, which seems to work a bit better. Anyone have any ideas?
