Problem/Question
I'm having trouble
accessing partitions on a
device, and my system
hangs during file
transfers.
I've forgotten the
password to a password-
protected partition. What
can I do?
Many files on my system
are corrupted.
I got a message saying
that my device is
unreadable and needs to
be initialized.
I would like to remove the
FWB driver and re-install
the Apple driver.

Table 1. Troubleshooting
Potential Cause
Your device might be having SCSI
problems.
The driver or system software might be
corrupted.
Misplaced paperwork or amnesia.
A virus may have infected your system.
A system crash probably destroyed
directory information.
Apple's drive formatting setup cannot
format a drive running a non-Apple
driver.
Solution
For advice on solving SCSI problems, see the table entry "Hard
Disk ToolKit•PE does not recognize a device on the SCSI bus
after bus rescan."
Rebuild your Desktop.
If possible, back up your data. Reinstall system software and
update SCSI drivers with HDT• PE . Attempt to run with no
extensions in your System Folder. To disable all extensions,
hold down the Shift key when you startup the computer.
Password-protected partitions are very secure; you can't
access the partition without the password.
To reuse the partition, use HDT• PE to reformat it. Formatting
will erase all existing data.
1. Remove the virus.
Check the devices on your system with a virus detection
and eradication program.
Optionally:
2. Back up the data.
3. Reinitialize the drive using HDT• PE .
4. Restore the data.
Take these steps to repair the damage:
1. Run Apple's Disk First Aid program
2. Use a third party recovery tool to recover information
from this crash, if possible.
3. Use Hard Disk ToolKit• PE to reinitialize, then restore
from a previous set of backups. Reinitializing will erase
all existing data.
Reformat the device using Hard Disk ToolKit• PE 's Format
command. When prompted to Create a New Volume, do not
continue. Quit out of HDT. Apple drive formatting software
should now be able to format the drive.
