Thanks to all for helping me with my "initialize disk" problem. I swapped out the drive from another machine that I had and that cured the problem -unfortunately, here's the next one: I'm not going to be doing much with my Mac Classic other than Word Processing stuff (although I've been seeing some chatter on using Linux for e-mail and text-based browsing; this sounds really cool! -you may be hearing more about my problems? ;) ) Anyway, I would like to write on the Mac Classic, save it to disk in a basic generic-type text file, and then take it to Kinkos -I'm the type of loser that doesn't have a printer but 3 computers -2 macs, 1 PC.
I can't seem to save in anything other than Claris 3.0 (Kinkos laughed at me...). Everytime I try to save my document (on my replaced 3.5 drive, thanks to you) it says it can't find the file. I'm thinking something went missing. I would like to be able to view it on a mac or Pc. This is why I want a generic text file. I guessing I may need to download something that either got corrupted (remember, I'm a recovering PCer) or went missing. Any ideas? I hope I'm being clear. (sorry for being a pain in the "A") I would love to return the favor as I...um....Learn. Thanks ! |

I wish I could help there - but hardware's more my go than software... which seems a bit of an arcane art more than any kind of technology.  dana

Is it only while saving to that drive, or saving in general? I took a quick peek through apple's knowledgebase archive (useful for all kinds of old stuff) and found: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=54684 which refers to -loading- but not saving. Apparently there are a bunch of translators for claris software that help in importing documents in different types - and if the appropriate translator isn't there, y'could get a file not found message. Perhaps in 3.0, being a bit newer, the ability to -save- as a different type can also bring about this problem? It's all just guessing by me - hopefully some kind claris 3 guru will wander by n give a nice simple solution :D dana

sounds like very good guessing to me. do a screenshot or write down the exact error messages, i think dana's right, the only other times i've seen file not found errors is on a disk with directory problems when trying to copy in the finder. doing a save as from within an applications almost always works for me on that drive too.sounds like it's time to reinstall clarisworks or at least the translators package. jt  ™.

C.O. AC-130H SpecOps 68kMLAAF p.s. if you don't have the original disks, i'm sure you can download an updater for the version you have to get newer translators and a more stable rev of .cwk, there were always at least 2 - 4 free updates between major upgrades.
