Hi All, I have a G4 400mhz Pci and the other day someone unplugged one of the monitors from the computer without shutting it down first. Directly after that the computer froze and refused to reboot. I worked with it for quite a while and kept hearing grinding noise. Fortunately there was a second hard drive installed but it did not have a system on it. So I booted from a cd and installed a new system. I still was unable to get the machine to boot from a hard drive. So I unpluged the first hard drive and its power. Still no luck. then when I plugged them both back in and was finally able to get the second hard drive to boot but the first hard drive could not be seen. After several more boots I shut it off for the night. Now the next morning I am able to boot from the second drive and the first drive not only shows up but so does all the info on it. OK guys, anyone tell me what happened ? What do you all think? I ran tech tools pro and the drive comes up fine. So I am assuming I should not trust this drive. But is there anything else I should do?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.... thanks, pam -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
