The first would be to try<br>Applejack if you feel confident enough to use it. It requires some thought<br>but it would probably be the answer. I am assuming that you haven't<br>re-installed the Mac OS. I hope you have the original disks as they can come<br>in handy. Using Applejack can be a shortcut instead of re-installing<br>everything from scratch.<br><br><a

It is a retail product<br>similar in nature to Applejack and easier to use than Applejack but it costs<br>about $100US.<br><br>I have had a Zip disk snag occur a few times and this was how I resolved it.<br>However ultimately it could be a hardware problem. But I would try fixing<br>the software first.<br><br>I once owned a similar Mac G4-400 like yours. I loved it. I bought it in<br>1999 or 2000 and it just gave out last year and I rode it hard 24 hoyrs a<br>day for most of that time. I still have it hidden away in a closet because I<br>didn't have the heart to trash it.<br><br>Good luck,<br><br>Bill<br>Montreal<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>G4 mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:G4@listserver.themacintoshguy.com"
