I have a crashed apple 40 mb hard drive, an internal drive for my Mac II.  It
is not booting from the drive, and no icon comes up on the desktop when it is
booted from another disk.  I have tried zapping the PRAM, rebuilding desktop,
first aid HFS, RedEdit, Disk First Aid and the Symentec Utilities on it, with
no results.  The SUM are the only software that acknowledges that there is a
drive there, but  during HFS recover, I get a beep and the screen reverts to
the main help screen.  I had installed SUM's Guardian on the drive some time
ago.  During diagnosis, the SUM software will not go past getting the
parameters for the drive if I keep the Option "Guardian was installed" checked.
(That's frustrating, as this is the very kind of thing that SUM should be
helping me out of.)  HFS recover of the SUM utilities stops halfway through the
file search if I check "Guardian was NOT installed" and quits.

Any ideas, comments, or jokes would be appreciated.
