I want to thank all of you that offered your advice and wisdom regarding the jumper settings on my hard drives. I love this List!
For the edification of others, here is what worked for me: I have 2 hard drives: Quantum Fireball (20 GB) and Seagate Barricuda (80 GB). I have the Quantum set to MASTER. I removed the jumpers on the Seagate as per OWC tech support. This sets the Seagate to Slave. The tech guy told me that after I have successfully booted the computer (B&W upgraded to G4), I should forget about the jumpers and just use SystemPreferences/Startup Disk to tell the Mac what drive to boot from. Happily, I am up and running. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
