Thanks for all the comments, but I don't think We have
hit the solution yet.
I did format the hd on my G4 and partioned with the
8gb. I then put the drive back in the WS and it did
the same thing.
I haven't tried the metal strip because I thought this
was related only to sleep issues and newer drives did
not have the problem. Could be wrong.
I tried to boot with a os 9 disk, my diskwarrior disk
and even os 8 to no avail.
It seems to be a problem with booting from the cd. I
can do it with the old drive, but not the new. Should
it be possible to boot without a hd in the computer -
with just a start up disk? Or does the computer have
to see a hd even if there is no OS on it? Maybe there
is something wrong with the new drive.
