I have a Mac II with 2MB ram, 40MB hard disk, Radius TPD,
running 6.05.  Everything was fine until one morning, I 
started up the machine to find that the Apple 40MB internal
drive did not show up on the desktop.  I have an Apple 160MB
external which showed up so I did not notice the problem at
first.

I tryed disconnecting the external and restarting but then I
got the flashing floppy prompt.

What can I do.  Is there some sort of software I can run, to
bring it back to life, ping the scsi port or something of that
sort.

General question is what is the procedure to go through to find
out what is wrong with a hard drive that will not start up.

Thanks
