The drive was sent back for replacement. Thanks anyway. When I get the other (new) drive I will tell news if the installation doesn't run like expected. - João. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Hard Drive Upgrade Problem
Hello, I have a similiar situation in a Lombard. Bought a 30GB Hitachi drive to replace the 6GB original IBM. When I start from 10.2 CD, I run Disk Utility to initialize the drive, but the program doesn't see the drive. No sight of it. If I put the old one back, the machine boots normally and the drive is recognizable. Any ideias? - João I bought a 30 gig Hitachi/IBM 2.5 mm HD to replace my loud, IBM 10 gig The 10 gig came out fairly easily ... the 30 gig went in fairly easily but when I put everything back together and go to install Panther on it, it doesn't show up in the Destination volume pane. It's as quiet as a cloud. It's as like it's not even in the Pismo. Panicking, I put the 10 gig back in and smile when it boots normally. I've tried this several times now, trying to match the 30 gig installation precisely with the successful 10 gig but so far, no satisfaction. Glenn, It seems that the 30 gig drive needs to be initialized. Boot from your Panther install CD and run Disk Utility from the Installer menu. Initialize the drive. If you want to make this drive readable from OS 9 make sure to install the OS 9 drivers. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Hard Drive Upgrade Problem
Hello from Texas! I know I'm overlooking the obvious but I'm not too proud to ask for help so here goes ... My Pismo needs more space ... I bought a 30 gig Hitachi/IBM 2.5 mm HD to replace my loud, IBM 10 gig The 10 gig came out fairly easily ... the 30 gig went in fairly easily but when I put everything back together and go to install Panther on it, it doesn't show up in the Destination volume pane.

I've tried this several times now, trying to match the 30 gig installation precisely with the successful 10 gig but so far, no satisfaction. Please, someone take the blinders from my eyes and tell me what I'm missing. I'm a big boy, I can take constructive criticism. I'm on Digest so a cc: private email would be appreciated also.
