Does anyone remember how to unlock a Macintosh OS 8 Harddrive?
I've got a Quadra 800 I'm working on but the harddrive is locked and
doesn't allow for read or writes.
(Aside from formatting)
Thanks
Rob
Could it be as simple as selecting the hard drive's icon, doing Get
Info and unchecking the locked flag?
Or maybe it has been locked at a lower level than that.

yes, Harddrive no.
I tried starting without extensions but that didn't help. I opened
the drive with FWB (it's installed on the harddrive) and seen
two partitions: The normal one and a small partition thats
encrypted. I've never seen anything like that before. I believe
that the harddrive
was used on system in a school system. I pulled the harddrive from a
Quadra 840av.
