Which Power Mac G3, and the rest of your config...? OS?

When starting from an installation DVD and >starting the harddisk manager application the volume is greyed out Disk Utility sees the drive but won't even try to repair it? When you were inside the Power Mac, you might have loosened the drive's data or power cables, etc. Try reseating them on both the drive and the motherboard. If that doesn't work, then you might have killed the drive. If you don't have a backup, as Ken suggests, try Data Rescue's free demo - if it can recover anything it will tell you - for free. You don't have to pay unless you want to do a full recovery. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
