I guess I could try setting the drive to cable select or to Slave and see what happens. I had it set to master before when it didn't work. I'll also play around with some cables. I really want that stupid drive to work, and this situation just makes no sense.
Thanks for the suggestions.

was with getting the reboot screen. Turned out the IDE cable was bad. Once a
new one was installed with the single drive connected to the end of the
cable (would not work connected to the 'middle' connection) all was fine.

I had the drives both connected at one time and the issue was still

standard short IDE cable that came standard with the B&W and with a

It happened with both cables. I do agree with you that the problem is
somehow in the drive, but I don't understand why it would work
perfectly fine in a PC and not in a Mac. Strange no?
Jason, try erasing the drive choosing the zero all data option. I had an 80 Gb drive I tried to use on my B&W that had been previously formatted and used on a PC and it caused all kinds of problems for me. Once you have the data completely zeroed out, then reinstall the OS and see if it works better for you.
