If you're comfortable poking around inside a desktop machine, doing the hard drive upgrade should be fairly easy for you. The directions in the link provided by Heok Hee, on xlr8yourmac.com are very thorough so it should go well. First though, I would open it up and make sure the drive is seated properly since it uses the angle adapter shown. It could be a loose or poor connection causing it not to power up. I would remove and reinsert it a couple times just to make sure the connection is making good contact. If no-go, then pop in a new drive. Just for grins, you might also reset the Power Manager: <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449#faq8> -Mark -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
