The Macintosh says my ProDOS floppy disk is unreadable or the
disk does not appear on the Macintosh desktop

Eject the disk and make sure it’s unlocked.

Eject the disk and make sure it has at least 2K of free space on it.
You can see how much free space it has by entering the Apple IIe
environment, inserting the disk again, and checking the disk’s
directory.

If you’re a floppy disk startup person, make sure you started up from
the

IIe Startup Disk.

If you’re a hard disk startup person, make sure that you still have the
ProDOS File System document in your System Folder. (It should have
been installed automatically when you followed the instructions in
Chapter 2.)

Wait until you’re in the Apple IIe environment before inserting
the disk.

I just installed version 7 of Macintosh system software and the
Apple IIe partition on my hard disk disappeared

The partition and the files are still there, but you need to follow these
steps to make them visible again: (1) shut down your Macintosh;
(2) insert the

IIe Installer Disk; (3) turn on your Macintosh; (4) open

the

IIe Installer Disk by double-clicking its icon; (5) open the

HD SC Setup program by double-clicking its icon; (6) click the
Update button; (7) if you have more than one hard disk, click
the Drive button and then the Update button for each hard disk;
(8) click Quit; (9) choose Restart from the Special menu.
