Hello Mac People
this is my first post so hi to everyone
Ive got a 933 quicksilver, been running OS9 on it as I use old music programs (ProTools).
Today I decided to add another drive since space was getting tight. So I installed this "120GB Maxtor Plus 9" into the 2nd slot above the original 120GB Hitachi Deskstar.
Ive tried all the different jumper combinations for both drives but I now cannot see my original drive, even if I put the mac back the way it was before attempting to add the new drive, it will not show up, when I press alt on boot up I just get the flashing question mark.
When I boot up from Diskwarrior (bootable 3.03), Diskwarrior will see the Deskstar drive no problem, Ive rebuilt the directory on all 3 partitions of the original deskstar with Diskwarrior but still when I boot I get a question mark. If both drives are connected and I boot from Diskwarrior, again both drives and all partitions are seen by Diskwarrior no problem
Ive got the ribbon cable set up as it should be ie:
blue end to MB
black connector to master
grey connector to slave
when I look at the Diskwarrior GUI its telling me my original deskstar (sys disk) has the following Device IDs:
original deskstar has 3 partitions:
"Macintosh HD"--- (OS9.2.2) Device ID: disk1s12
"OSX (10.3.9)"--- Device ID: disk1s10
"Audio" (data) ---Device ID: disk1s14
original deskstar is listed as Master in the Diskwarrior GUI under the Hardware Tab
the added new Maxtor
has 2 partitions
"MacHD2"--- Device ID: disk0s9
"New2"--- Device ID: disk0s10
this Maxtor is listed as Slave in the Diskwarrior GUI under the Hardware Tab
Ive zapped the PRAM a few times and the MB button SVRAM
still no luck
do these Device IDs look suspect to anyone? Could they be the problem? Why would the Deskstar have such high numbers for its ID??
One other thing I'm thinking could be the problem is I'm sure the motherboard battery might be dead as I do get the clock going back to 1974 on boot ups sometimes but not always, I thought maybe the PRAM is not resetting properly because of the possible flat MB battery.
Anybody any ideas what could be the problem here? been googling this all day and have read numerous threads on it
Sorry for the long post but just wanted to convey what ive tried so far
Well I hope someone can shed some light coz I'm stumped and beginning to bang my head against the wall
regards
Simon
