the previous ATA bus, and it failed. So, I gather this ATA bus or the
cable is busted. I'll try to switch the cable later to see whtr the
cable is the culprit. Thanks again Chance, and Nestamicky for your
advice! You guys are the b

Does it bong/chime when you start it up? I will also consider setting

Did that and it's the same. Grey screen with Apple logo - no spinning
wheel. I've waited like 5 minutes or so. I think I've messed up the HD

Here's what I will do first. Take the power cord out from the mains.
Remove and replace the memory, video card, and the ribbon cable and
power cable that goes to the HD and DVD/CD drive

What happens when you try to boot? Please say. That question was on the

Sorry if I did not mention that! That is the problem. I can't boot
with the older HD now, which is installed with the OSX. Therefore, I
can't use the G4 at the moment. I thought I might be able to install
OSX again by booting from the CD but it doesn't work. I've read
somewhere that you can't boot

I may have missed it, or you did not mention that ther
To narrow down the possible causes, I have removed the HD for time

Is this a second HD you just installed? Try removing it and see if you
can boot normally.

Try formatting the HD using the install disc. If it does not show up
under disc utility, then you may have to find a utility like Gparted,
put that on a disc and format and partition the HD.

times upon seeing that the HDD is not recognised (the multi-colored
wheel kept on spinning when I clicked on the new HDD icon). I know I

Now, the G4 just shows
