write protected drive
lmercer
Version: 4.0
Operating system: System 7.x
I used Norton disk doctor to try to fix a suspended user problem I
should have used the emergency unlock disk for. The emergency disk
won't unlock it now and when it did it would then tell me the drive
was write protected.
Can I reformat the drive and if so how do I get it to 'see it' on
the desktop.

Hello lmercer,
If you simply want to reformat the drive you'll need a bootable CD,
floppy or external hard drive and your formatting software floppy disk.
Boot the computer while holding the Command, Option, Shift and Delete
keys (use the Delete key above the Return key). This will bypass the
internal hard drive and boot from the system on the CD (or the external
hard disk). Then open your formatting software and reformat the disk.
Sincerely,
