OK, I can get my G4 Quicksilve (OS X 10..11, 800 MHz, 1.5GB RAM) to boot from the new HD but if the old HD is not present it simply will NOT boot. I tried with another HD set as Slave and had no luck. I tried it with JUST the new HD and no luck. Put the old one back in as Slave and it boots fine.
I Zapped the PRAM, twice (once with the original HD and once after I removed it, in an attempt to get it to boot with another HD in the Slave position). What shall I try next? PS...the original HD is now deciding to not show as having any HD issues when I look with Disk Utility but I just want to be careful. -- Steve Conrad Henrietta, MO 64036 "The time has come for mankind to grow up and leave its cradle behind; to go forth and claim our place in outer space." - Capt.
