I installed a new 200gb drive in my MT. It is connected to a ATA/66
card and it formatted at 128mb, which I was told, is due to the 66
card. I'll now upgrade to a 133.
Here's my problem:
I went ahead and installed 9.2.2, XPost Facto and started to install
Panther. The Panther install made it completely through Disc 1 and the
system automatically restarted. Instead of booting into OS X and
asking for disc 2, it instead booted into OS 9.
The drive does not appear on the desktop. It does however show up in
Disc Utility but I can't do anything to it. If I try to format it it
will just sit there while it is creating the partition map. The
progress bar moves about a 1/4 inch and just stays there. I also have
tried Diskwarrior and the drive does not even show up in the drop down
window.
I've never had one slip away like this before where I couldn't
resurrect it.
Any ideas??
Thanks

Greeting,
This is an excellent procedure to do prior to installing "OS X"
Refer to this URL http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html and
follow the instruction regarding disk clean-up.
I would also recommend reseting "PRAM" first.
Best Regards,
Harry (*^_^*)
