[DuoList] 2300c Hard Drive Woes

[B G]

I don't suppose you have a dock with an internal drive that has a  
system folder on it.

If I recall you can dock the duo and boot with the internal dock  
drive, then use the Apple dusk utility.

It has been a long time but I think this will work.


Good Luck
