Problems with Apple IIe Files and Disks

I can't see the Apple IIe partition I created on my hard disk

- 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.)

I get a message saying no file servers were found

- If you want to start up from a file server, make sure you're properly

connected to the network.

- If you don't want to start up from a file server, make sure you've

correctly selected your startup device in the Slot Configuration panel. If

AppleShare is in slot 7, the startup device should not be set to Scan.

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.

Problems with IIe Startup

The settings I make in the Option Panel don't take effect

them to active slots.
