kyle, mark, you guessed right. i put in a 4g drive and it ran just fine. Startup was fast. The only strange thing is that the Apple Hardware Test CD doesn't recognize the machine. Any thoughts? Pat

As would I, check for the usual signs for hard drive death, such as the hard drive going into repeating read cycles (sounds like the hard disk equivalent of a stuck record, it just goes over the same bit over and over again). Also try copying a large stack of unimportant files (stuff off a CD or something) onto the drive and see if it falls on it's face doing that. -- Mark Benso -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
