Thanks for the mail about the problem I was having. Here is the status: I picked up SUM II and it says that I have the following errors: SCSI device descriptor sigs bad No SCSI partition map for volume SCSI mapping is bad It tries to fix them, and claims to have completed the repairs, but the problems are still there. Does anyone know what might cause this or how to fix it? I will be taking it in to the dealer within the next day or two, but I'd like to be able to at least get some files off of it first -- neither Norton Utilities nor SUM II were able to recover any files. By the way, SCSI Tools is able to figure out what type of hard disk it is (Connor CP3040A 40mb). Any help is greatly appreciated. If it makes any difference, the machine is a IIsi/40mb with 5mb of ram. There are a few inits on the hard drive, but it has been running fine with them for the past few months. For a complete description of the problem, see the original posting with this subject in comp.sys.mac.system. Thanks, Trevor smedley@udel.edu
