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.

- 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.

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.
