When I started up with the travelstar installed I got the chimes and the first time I got a computer with the "?." Then I tried rebooting with an OS 9.1 CD. It would chime--but the screen remained completely blank. It wouldn't see the CD either--so I couldn't do anything to even look at the HD.
I checked to see if the disk was firmly set and so forth. Also, I could hear the disk do its self-check and startup.
I removed the Travelstar, put the old disk back in and everything ran fine. (The travelstar runs fine in my external firewire case.)
Any Ideas? Would formatting in OSX do this--and if so, why couldn't I boot up from a CD and reformat?
