[sarcasm] you remembered to plug it back in... right? [/sarcasm] try booting it with just the cd drive (probably a SCSI ID problem) and see what happens ( make sure that there is a bootable disk in there) If it boots off that, try to boot it into the CD with the hdd in too (and then use disk utility to see if the drive has crashed) I have done some boneheaded stuff with my old 6100 (running 2 hdds together, then unplugging one and attaching the cd whilst it running) and i've never had that problem before (albeit my 6100 was a beast of a mac, i dropped it down the stairs and it still booted just fine) Just my 2cents. -Christian
