On SATA drives the jumpers generally aren't used.
The old one had a jumper. ;-) And I put it in the same spot on the
new drive. Can anyone give me a definitive on this? Does using a
jumper in the wrong slot shut down the whole drive?
This is likely the problem. Generally speaking SATA HDs do NOT use
jumpers, and further, the jumper locations between different HD makes
& models are often very different, so the idea of moving a jumper from
an old drive to a new drive may seem like a good idea, in reality it's
likely the cause of your problem here.
As Alex said, EXACT model(s) of the HD(s) would be nice. In the
future, the initial posting should include ALL the exact hardware
involved, which would include the exact Mac model w/ RAM, HD, OS
version, etc, and the replacement HD make & model.
Tried it. Found the small button on the keyboard. No luck.
I don't think you reset the SMU using a "small button on the
keyboard"?
I did. Funky stuff flashed past on the screen. That was it. Shoud I
remove the above mentioned jumpers and try again?
I don't think you understood what I was saying. I meant "pushing a
small button on the keyboard does NOT reset your SMU", and whatever
you did, it wasn't reseting the SMU. Instead, use the instructions I
provided in the link to reset the SMU.
