Yes... it is. Jeff
I had this happen on a PM G4 a while ago I'll tell you what I did to
fix it and I sure can't say why. After hours of frustration
reinstalling the systems and verifying the drive in an external box
on other machines it turned out to be a file that's called frame
work. I had to actually manually reinstall it. I don't know if this
applies to your system. The first thing I would do if you can is to
check the drive on another machine or say on the FW ports of the PM
G5.
John, just so happens that I installed the drive into an external fw
enclosure... it's still kind-of sporadic in behavior, the first time I
put a cd in in, it would not mount on the desktop, but.. when I opened
the drawer, then closed it (with the cd inside), then it mounted fine?
weird huh? I just bought (arrived today) 2 pioneer 118's from
newegg... installed one in the pmg5... I had 2 kernal panics...
restarted a couple times... tried to pram reset and for some reason I
could only get one chime? strange... I also got a new wireless board
and magic mouse today too, maybe there's a glitch in the wireless
stuff... belkin bluetooth module? hmmm....
