Hey All!
It's Tracey again!
I thought it was all over. I ran DiskWarrior, and it found a lot wrong
with the drive. It gave a long list of all the things it replaced.
Then, it restarted, and I couldn't get past the white screen with gray
apple.
So, I started up with the OSX CD-- no G3 drive. So, I started up in
single-user mode-- no G3 drive. So, I put the DiskWarrior CD to see if
I could get any information there-- no G3 drive.
It's gone. And, it had supposedly been repaired and replaced....
