Do you have Install floppy disks for the CC? Yes I do.
...
What System is the CC using? Pretty sure it is 7.1
I have the first aid floppy, but like i said before, when i put it in...the computer still doesn't 'see' or recognize any HD...just the disk drive.
The resetting of PRAM (detailed by Grant) refocusses the system's attention to the logical whereabouts of the hard drive (the
startup device). This refocus will remain until you shut down, but will not be maintained at the next startup unless you replace the backup battery. The backup battery is 'spared' by leaving the CC attached to the mains (wall socket) after shutdown
and with the rear switch of the CC left on.
If a PRAM reset does not result in full startup and mounting of the hard drive on the desktop you must call upon the Disk Tools floppy to undo the (minor) damage caused by the power outage. Insert the floppy immediately after the chime. It should mount on the desktop when the CC has completed startup.
Open the Utilities folder and double-click on Disk First Aid. Across the top of the window you should see icons for the floppy disk
and the hard drive. Click on the hard drive icon to allow DFA to examine and correct the hard drive's condition. When DFA reports that all is well, run the program once more.
Quit DFA. Open HD SC Setup. Use the option to reinstall the hard drive's driver software. Quit HD SC setup. Restart. The floppy disk should be ejected, and the CC should restart from the HDD, and mount the volume's icon on the desktop just as in 'the old days'.
