Now, I have a more serious difficulty. For some mysterious reason the video display will start going haywire during the installation process. Most of the time--this may be the 3rd or 4th--it will simply go blank and give me a white-blue screen. This time--the 5th-- it has given many beautiful colours. It must have gotten fairly well along in the install process as now the computer can't find a start-up volume, even with the OS X CD in the CD-ROM drive.
This really has me mystified. I had NO problem installing X on the original HD--a 4 GB original. It's tempting to go back to the original configuration say to heck with it all, but the extra space is needed for storage and for Classic.
Something else this machine is doing is not recognising CD's, in particular, CD-RW's. It also will not always mount the OS install disc. It has done this with both the OS and X discs.
Any ideas are welcome.
TIA
