You don't have an extra IDE spot in your G4? If so, I'd put it in
there (not replacing the drive with your regular system on it). That
way you can start up on a different drive than the one that's a problem.
And yes, I'd definitely install the hi-cap kext.
Just to clear up some confusion: a system that won't run on a given
machine is not responsible in itself for that partition not mounting.
You said you ran DiskWarrior and "nothing". What do you mean? Did it
rebuild the disk directory or did it report a problem preventing you
from doing that?
