lol a hard drive is a hard drive is a hard drive. There is no "PC HD" or "Mac HD". The HDs Apple installs differ from G4 to G4, from Seagate to Maxtor to Hitachi. IBM and Quantum were also used before, but Maxtor bought/merged w/Quantum and Hitachi did that with IBM. I swap HDs all the time between PC's and Macs. Jus make sure you take notice of the master-slave settings. For example: Apple uses the 40GB 4200RPM or 5400RPM (differs from mini to mini) Seagate Momentus 42 in the 1.25GHz mini and the 80GB 4200RPM Toshiba MK8025GAS in the 1.42GHz mini. * * -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
