The original HD is probably slower than a newer one; that’s why switching would make the system faster.
He mentioned the real capacity, or let’s say he used real GB, not GiB; that’s how 30 GB became 27 and 160 GB became 150. In the other thread: I goofed about partitioning making bigger- than-128 GB drives work; fortunately the others corrected me. I think when you install the OS on the (internal) 160 GB, it will see only a 128 GB drive; on formatting, you can choose to install Sys 9 support; if you don’t, you’ll still be able to use Classic. It may be best to put the 160 GB in the place where the 30GB is now, but I would also keep the 30 GB inside, at least initially, just for convenience. You know the screw that holds the drive cage down to the bottom plate? It’s under the cables; loosen that and you can tilt the whole drive assembly and slide it out. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
