| Macintosh HD Locked? |
Posted by: Punkyclown on 2019-02-19 10:41:42
Hi all, while trying to make some changes on my PowerBook 1400c I found the my Macintosh HD drive is locked. And I can find no way to unlock it, or why it's locked or how it became locked. Is there someone out there who could help me on this issue? I am running MacOS 9.
Thank you

Don't remember clearly, but can the HD been locked through the information panel ?

You mean the "Get Info" menu item. I looked there and there is nothing indication it is locked there.

If I remember correctly, this can come up with certain kinds of volume corruption, so it seems like its locked, but that's the Mac's only way to tell you something is wrong, when the problem is in fact a certain type of corruption.

Thanks to all for the help, I resolved this issue by loading the OS9 CD and then running
Disk first aid from then, there, then going to the menu and choosing "Erase", this worked.
