New HDD in SE/30, HD SC setup patched doesn't like it.
Posted by: TrueNorthStrong on 2018-03-18 13:52:24
Having some trouble with a new HDD I purchased for my SE/30. The disk appears to be perfectly OK, disk first aid says it's fine, Lido 7 can scan and mount it, and I've installed 7.3.5 on to it. It won't boot from it, so I assumed I needed to initialize it with Setup 7.5.3 Patched, but when the drive is selected under Setup, the "Initialize" option doesn't work. Spits out "Unable to prepare the disk for Initialization". 

Any tips would be appreciated!
