You may need to reset the PRAM to get the old drive recognized again. Press Command-Option-P-R immediately that you turn the computer on, and wait for the computer to give its startup chime at least 3 times (should be 30 seconds to one minute total elapsed time). I'm not sure why it is recommended to wait for the chimes 3 times... If running OS 9, you will probably have to reset a few settings. - Don -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
