Re: Hard Drive Upgrade Problem

[Krevnik]

Yes, most definitely make sure the connections are good. I installed a 
40GB Hitachi recently and had to re-format a second time because the 
drive connector came loose and would not get recognized by any piece of 
software. Before closing up the machine, double and triple check BOTH 
connections are in as firmly as possible, then if it still doesn't 
recognize, contact Hitachi for a replacement.

Hello,

I have a similiar situation in a Lombard.
Bought a 30GB Hitachi drive to replace the 6GB original IBM.
When I start from 10.2 CD, I run Disk Utility to initialize the 
drive, but the program doesn't see the drive.
No sight of it.

If I put the old one back, the machine boots normally and the drive 
is recognizable.

Any ideias?
Make sure that when you install the 30 gig drive, that the connector 
clip is firmly pushed into the new drive as well as where it goes into 
the mb.  The clip into the mb moves up and out easily and can't be 
seen well.....

Have you tried booting from a 9.x CD as well?
