Since this does *not* happen on my machines, I need more information before I can learn anything useful from it. First, hardware. Is this an Apple 3.5 drive or a Unidisk 3.5? Is it attached to the SmartPort connector on the GS, or is it connected to an card? (The Apple 3.5 drive has the "paperclip hole" inside the eject button; the UniDisk 3.5 is white and has the hole elsewhere [below the button, I think].) Are you booting System Software 5.0? If it's an Apple 3.5 drive, do you have the AppleDisk3.5 driver in your System:Drivers folder, and is it active (use Icon Info on that file from the Finder)? (Ditto for UniDisk 3.5 and the UniDisk3.5 driver.) You say the new disk is "not recognized," and I don't know what to conclude from that. Does the System Disk icon "dim" when you eject the disk? When you insert the new disk, does the drive's light come on at all? Does anything change on the screen at all? -- --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.
