Wow, thank you for this information. If I can't get this hard drive to work, can I use a scsi card? or something else?

Denus,
Is that a Miniscribe HDD? Does it suffer from the common 'stiction' problem?
I have one that works but the stiction renders it useless. It was a kind of metallic dust type of dirt.
I managed to clean the HD and the surface of the motor (which you can see on the pic...), and it's now fully operational.
There's a garage database on the HD with many license numbers, details regarding car repairs etc... from 1991 till 1994.
That explains the state of the SE when I got it...

Have you tried using BLU (Basic Lisa Utilities) to perform a low-level format of the hard drive? Try that, then rerun the MacWorks installer.
