Folks,
Installed a brand new 500 gig hd in a G5 iMac. The old one had
"issues". For reasons unknown Disc Utility has problems even
formating
the damned thing. And refuses to partion it. Disc Warrior does
not
even "see" the new drive. What can be wrong? The machine has a
new
battery and from what I can make out the drive and the fans
start ok,
the screen works.
my little brother had this problem in his, when i checked his work he
had accidentally damaged one of the sata pins where it is connected to
the main board.
only one of the pins had snapped where the connector sitts on the main
board but that was enough to stop the drive being seen at all.
