Silverlining is indeed distributed by LaCie and is in fact a hard disk management application. It allows you to format and partition practically any hard drive available on the market. It also allows you to other hard drive management tasks such as file de-fragmentation and customization of the read/write cycles used by your hard drive. It is small, easy to use, and does a great job. I use it to format and partition all drives I take care of at work, and have totally forsaken Apple HD Setup.

Actually, Silverplatter's only similarity to Silverserver is that it allows network sharing. Silverplatter allows network sharing of serial devices like imagewriters, modems, etc. hanging off a specific mac (ie. not off the network directly like a laserwriter is usually configured. -- Jeff Wiseman: ....uunet!tellab5!wiseman OR wiseman@TELLABS.COM

Does Anyone know how to 'de-install' Silverlining? (LaCie) Some fool installed it on my hard drive, and now I can't get rid of it. I tried re-formatting my hard drive (with Apple's installer on system7) and the I get an error that the hard drive won't mount. If, however, I re-run Silverlining, the hard drive mounts with no problem. I tried calling the tech support at LaCie, but have never been able to talk to anything other than the answering machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Michael Attan Please send replys to zinder2500@aal.itd.umich.edu as the header address is incorrect. :)
