My Quad has a bit of a problem, to be resolved at the Mac Doctor ...

I believe that is why my installed G4 HD did not appear to work in my G5. It did show up on the Desktop, but having Startup issues caused it to not mount later.

Time will tell ... once the G5 is up and running, all should be fine.

Thanks for the clarification.

¡ Happy New Year !

It would be a good idea to hold the Shift key for a Safe Boot for the
first boot, this will ditch the G4 startup caches and rebuild them for
the G5 hardware. You can reboot normally after the Safe Boot and
things should be fine.

I never did that and it all worked fine… Went from a G4 to a G5 and back a
dozen times…
