Ok guys, I screwed up now! In my playing around with FWB HardDisk ToolKit 4.0, I updated my drivers on my G4. (500MHZ, OS 9.04, Drive Setup 1.9.2, HDT 4.0). Well, thats all fine and nice, but now, I wanna revert to othe apple drivers, but Drive Setup cant do that. I have tried playing around with the partition map, and I can see the drivers, but I dont wanna screw anything up.
I remember, a few years back this happened, and I screwed up one hard drive, but saved another. I dont know what I did, but it allowed me to restore my old Apple drivers. I think it was with the partition map.
Of course, the HD im working on is the one thats not backed up. I can still see the data, and all that stuff, so im not in a terrible situation. I dont have the means right now to backup up all 27 gig of that hard drive, so im stuck. I have a SCSI drive that i've been testing my theories on and exprimenting with, but so far everything leads to a reformat.
If you guys know how to fix this problem, or have any other ideas, i would appreciate it greatly. BTW, I think the hard drive is a Western Digital 27 Gig (IDE/ATA).
I tried Opt/Tab, and this is what happened: ��
ok, i selected the g4 install cd as a startup disk, the rebooted. after the chime ends, i held Option and Tab till the Finder loaded. I tried to update the drive using drive setup, but no can do. i loaded HDT and it still says that the active driver is the HDT driver. Am I doing anything wrong?
