10.2 barf on second HD |

I have 10.2 working on my 'main' harddrive, which is a 1gig quantum (way to small). I just acquired a 2gig Seagate drive and I was trying to move my 10.2 installation over to that. However, 10.2 doesnt seem to want to move. I formatted/partitioned the new drive in 10.2 with the apple drive setup utility, installing the apple 9.1 drivers with it as well. Originally, I tried to do a fresh installation of 10.2 onto the new drive (scsi id 2). When I would reboot, I would get the grey-mac icon (this is uing xpf 2.2.1) which would almost immediately turn into a grey 'do-not-enter' symbol. So, it seemed to not want to install onto it. So, I tried to clone my current 10.2 drive onto the new one and see if that worked. I used ditto to copy all of the files (as per some stuff I found on the net) and bless the new system folder. I booted back into OS9 and set XPF to boot onto the new harddrive. However, when I would reboot it would just stay black for a while and eventually boot back into OS9, skipping both the OSX drives. I tried to turn off 'auto-boot' to get the boot screen and see if I could force it to startup from scsi id 2, but when I would try autoboot it would never boot up at all, just blackscreen. I would have to option-startup into classic to get back into anything. This is the same with XPF 2.2 and 2.2.1. What gives? Does it not like the drive b/c of its non-apple roms? Scsi ID? Something else entirely? Any help resolving this appreciated. Thanks |

Try formatting in Mac OS 9, rather than Mac OS X |

The problem is that the drive was formatted in Mac OS X 10.2. For some reason (it isn't entirely clear to me why), that does not produce drives that are bootable on unsupported systems, at least for booting Mac OS X (even if you include the 9.1 drivers). What you will need to do is reformat the drive from Mac OS 9.x, using Drive Setup. |
