SCSI2SD System Folder Missing?
Posted by: macuserman on 2022-04-27 13:38:06
I have a SCSI2SD that was setup by someone else and then given to me I've been using it as is, but I went to copy an extension to the system folder and I can't find it anywhere it seems to be hidden somehow. The drive is configured for multiple OS but while all are bootable, none seem to have a system folder visible from within the OS. Is that a side affect of the way these work or how can I copy something to the system folder if it's not visible within the OS? I'm sure this is a dumb question so I apologize in advance.

The System Folder doesn't actually have to be called 'System Folder' or even be in the root directory of the hard disc. If you've got a multi-OS thingy going on, at least one of the System Folders will have to be called something else.

I suggest you do a search of the disk for files called Finder, and that will show you what System Folders there are. The one that you're currently booting from will then be the one with the little Mac icon on it.

Never mind I'm an idiot as I thought the whole folder was scambled and the icons were hidden. Was able to change to list view and find everything where it should be.... 🙃
