Was that HD initialized? Booting from Norton's CD should not make any difference, as: 1) the card is recognized at power-on time by the MacOS ROM, and 2) the drive is mapped to a SCSI drive, and Norton's special version of MacOS can see any mounted SCSI drive which has been initialized. It *is* necessary to reinitialize a drive when moving it from an internal EIDE/UATA channel to a PCI card, or back again. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
