Well, as it has turned out the drive has died again. I am very glad I didn't trust it and I managed to get all the important data off. That was the biggest relief. I ran fine for a short while and then it started occuring errors again and was unable to read and then stared clanking. So, now I need to get it out of the chain. Since these are ata drives and ofcourse the drive that died was the master, I switched the jumpers over so that the new drive was the master and disconnected the other one entirely. However on boot, first I get a flashing question mark over a file folder, then a mac symbol over a folder, then a cursor, then a blank screen for a few minutes and then it starts with the Mac OS. What all do I need to do? push the cuda? trash the finder prefs? zap the pram? anything else? Thanks for everyone help. I truly appreciate it....
