Thanks, Kasey, but my G4 tower has been unplugged, moved up an Ikea
shelf and supplanted by my 'new' G5 which is awaiting a dvi-to-adc
connector (ordered today from the apple store.ca) for my apple 17" flat
panel cinema adc display. I'm not going to fool around with the damaged
g4 anytime soon... i'm hard at work building a 40+ page web site on my
pb, and once the connector arrives i'll dive into configuring that, or
at least try to run the display from the pb, which has a dvi connector

Flip the side down and look at the top of the hard drive, and was it

I have no idea... it might not even be the hard drive, although
Friday morning it booted up at first and then when i started up
dreamweaver the mac started to make a repeating noise and wouldn't
progress...I tried a restart and got the question mark flashing (and
interchanging with the old mac os logo). Tried starting up with the
original tiger disks, but no hd found. Then started up with
DiskWarrior 4... same thing, hd found.
I'm not a techie so it could be something else as far as I know

Yeah, one of these days... if for nothing more than to have it as
an emergency backup... also I'll stay with tiger there so i can
keep classic around.

Thanks Cyrus, my G5 is also Dual 2.0GHz... yeah I'm totally
excited about getting such a powerhouse (499.00CDN) although I'll
have to wait a bit since I need to grab an apple dvi to adc
adapter for my flat-panel display. In the meantime i can continue
merrily along on my ti g4 powerbook (1.6GHz, Leopard)... my g4
tower hd died yesterday...I'm in the middle of a 40+ page web
site design... good thing I back up to an external hd 2-3 times a
day, and disks regularly.
New HD for the G4 then?
Just curious, but what kind of hard drive was it that died?
