Anyone got any better idea please?
You can boot the PC with a Windows Install CD (make sure the CD is selected as the 1st boot device in the BIOS), and then follow the install instructions and reformat the HD. For XP you'll be pressed toward NTFS, but you can use FAT32 also. I'd to a "FULL" format rather than a "QUICK" format since this was an Apple HD. If you can't get the Mac drive to recognize at all, use your Firewire method, it can't take that long. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
