I'd check the cable connections on the CD drive first. You may have
loosened one when you removed or replaced the HD.

Have received wonderful advice and thanks to all of you.
I am not very tech savvy but was able to remove the HD from my G3/300
mini tower. Put it in my checked luggage and flew back east on
vacation
with it. While there, a friend partitioned it for me so I could
install
OS X v10.2 Jaguar.
Got detailed instructions on removal of the HD from the list. Now
have a
new problem. My CD tray has stopped working. It opens OK but when I
try
to install any software, nothing happens.
No spinning noise. No icon on desk top, just dead. Also no Jaguar, I
operate on 9.2.
From the above I have concluded that I need to replace the CD unit.
Now,
I also have another Mac, a mini tower a G3/266. My questions are:
1) Can I remove the CD unit from one and install it in the other?
2) If I can, is it a fairly straight forward job?
3) Need a referral to a site with detailed instructions how to do the
job.
Any help will be appreciated,
Richard in San Diego
Thanks,
