Message-ID: <1990Oct15.202403.27104@portia.Stanford.EDU> Date: 15 Oct 90 20:24:03 GMT Sender: news@portia.Stanford.EDU (USENET News System) Distribution: usa Organization: Stanford University - AIR Lines: 23 Can someone help me? I own a Mac Plus (4MB) two disk drives 20MB and 120MB, daisy-chained off my SCSI port (MAC to 20 to 120). Yesterday while shutting my system off I mistakenly turned of the 20 before the mac completely shut down. When I booted back up I found that 4 out of 5 of the partitions on my 120 are unreadable. The exact error reads "this is not a macintosh dish. INITIALIZE/CANCEL?". The only partition that works is the system partition, so I know the problam is with software. I figure that when I turned off the 20 it shut down the SCSI port leaving some tables in an unreadable state. Does anyone know how I can repair thses files? Can anyone help me? -- Daryl M.
