The iMac will boot SeaTools but the keyboard and mouse, even the wired
ones, will not work and I can't get past the splash screen.
I have viable backups of the files so I just trashed the disk, after
removing the magnets. I replaced it with a WD 200 GB drive that I had
laying around, and I ordered a 2 TB Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex with the
FW800 adapter.
I hated to loose the 500 GB drive. I am currently living in Greece and
I cannot find a 500 GB IDE drive here, they are mostly offering
smaller IDE drives. U.S. retailers cannot ship drives to Greece and I
can't find a UK retailer that will ship a drive to Greece.
I was just back in the U.S. for the holidays but I didn't bring my
crystal ball with me ;-)
You wife's Intel iMac may be able to boot the Maxtor drive utility CD?
