Thanks to all the people who replied to my request for help. Most of
the replies based the fix on the fact that the lisa thought it had a valid
Mac formatted disk. Our Lisa did not think it was a Mac formatted disk.

The replies that stated I should use Mactools 5.* seemed the best chance,
unfortunatly in one of the many tries when using the hard disk install.
I clicked the OK button on the install's "Not a Mac disk, intialize?".

Needless to say the Lisa works just fine now but all the data was lost.
So as we slowly recover the data (off hardcopy) we now have a strong
incentive for backup. 

Anyone have suggestions for a good backup scheme. HFS backup, that we use
on a Mac with a hard disk doesn't work on the non HFS Lisa. 

Thanks Again.
