AFAIK it's not a G5 thing. I've used an old G5 for a couple years, with two drives in it, and never got any SMART notice. Besides, and more important, I never heard of any significant amount of SMART messages about G5s. Since you checked those drives in Ubuntu, they're probably fine, but I wouldn't use them on anything critical before finding where the problem is. Most likely, the problem is in your G5. It could be software-related (some part of the OS got flaky), or hardware-related (the drive controller or something). You can try the following: - Create another user account, switch to it, try again inserting the HDs. - If you have another partition available, or another drive to insert, install OSX anew and boot from it: if the problem is software related, it should disappear. You could even use one of those drive to install OSX anew on it: if everything works, it's likely the drive is fine. -- -- 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.
