This is, unfortunately, one of the things that you may have to do with the drive (after backing it up). > Since this list is not mega-active, I dare asking the question: does > anybody has a good HD to suggest for an old bi-G5 Mac ? I don't know if the "mega-active" is meant by my responses or not. :-) I didn't have a good health these days. Anyway, which kind of drive does your G5 use? If it is a SATA drive (which I suspect that it is), basically any drive should do. I did the same with my iBook G3 600MHz (unfortunately, that's the fastest PowerPC machine that I have at my disposal, even though I would like to help get the PowerPC get better), installing a PATA (IDE) 120GB drive (5400 RPM) in the place of the original 20GB drive (4200 RPM). Besides being way more silent, I hope that some compilation tasks will work faster. > I do not need particularly big size or transfer rates... Depending on where you are (I see that you sign your messages from Japan), you may be able to get a Seagate drive with 750GB with a 5-year warranty. Here in Brazil, the longest warranty that I can get is 6 months. :-( Regards, Rogério Brito. -- Rogério Brito : [EMAIL PROTECTED],ime.usp}.br : GPG key 1024D/7C2CAEB8 http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito : http://meusite.mackenzie.com.br/rbrito Projects: algorithms.berlios.de : lame.sf.net : vrms.alioth.debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
