I bought one of those 80 GB HD's on sale at circuit city a couple of weeks
ago. I put my old drive (40 GB) into a FW case and installed the new drive
in my G3. I partitioned it (HFS+) and installed OS 10.1.5. It worked o.k.,
but everytime I opened something that needed classic it took a LONG time to
boot. Since I couldn't boot to the FW that had my old drive with 9.2 system,
I used carbon copy cloner to make a copy of my old system and installed it
on a different partition on the new internal drive. Only when I try to boot
from it I get the flashing ?. I could boot from the OS X install, but that
didn't do any good since it wouldn't let me do anything except install. I
could boot from the 9.2 CD, but then I could only see the FW drive, not the
new drive. So I swapped drives (i.e., put the old one back internally and
the new one in the FW) so I could get back to work and try again later. Now
I can't see the FW drive (now the 80 GB) at all whether I boot from my HD or
the OS X install CD. I've run disk utilities trying to find it, but no show.
Any ideas? What about jumper settings?

Thanks,
Bonnie
