Hi all, I have a problem with my hard drive. I'm using a Mac Plus with 2.5 megs and an Apple Crate 65mb hard drive. Usually, I turn on the hard drive and then the computer. Here's my procedure: 1. Turn on the hard drive. 2. Wait for it to come up to speed. 3. After I hear it come up to speed, I turn on the computer. 4. Everything is fine and dandy and I can work. Now, though, my problem is that it _doesn't_ come up to speed. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. When it does, after a little while, it may power down again. This is really bizarre and very frightening since I haven't backed up my data recently enough. (Last time was a month ago.) If anyone could help me with suggestions, solutions, names of reputable people who might be able to fix the hard drive if need be, etc. Thanks in advance. Mary Ng mn5@cunixd.cc.columbia.edu P.S. Please email to my account, thx. There is no such thing as fortune. Try again.
