Hi all,
I've got a Macintosh SE FDHD with a non functioning SCSI drive and replaced it with another drive I had in my spares box.
It's a 250MB Quantum Pro Drive LPS and has an Apple logo on it.
It looks indentical to this one:

I don't know where I got this drive came from but I got recognised by the computer as soon as I connected it.
I got a SCSI icon (?) on the desktop with the name of drive.
I didn't try to access its contents but went straight to HD setup.
It is reported to have SCSI ID :0 while the original hard drive had a SCSI ID of "2".
I'm booting system 6.08 from a floppy disk BTW.
The disk passes the "test" routine and I can also "update" its driver.
If I try to initialize the disk the procedure seems to go smooth until after the name volume window appears on the screen.
I don't have a cable for my keyboard unfortunately so I click "untitled" as the name of disk and then I get a window reporting that it can't mount the volume.
I think the drive is good since it seems to pass the test and manages to initialize up to the point of naming it but I have no idea why the system can't mount the drive.
Should I change its ID or whatever?
I thought about changing the name might work but I don't have a keyboard cable (yet) so no keyboard.
Any ideas on what might be wrong?
All I want is to install the system to a hard drive in order to not have to boot from floppy each time.
