Ok... we got bigger problems today. This is beyond ram not working! Thanks for all the advice you gave me yesterday.... I went home and tried to do a simple update from 8.5.1 to 8.6 (I've done this a hundred times before with my older powercomputing clone). Halfway through the update the installer came to an error and quit. I ran techtool to see if there was any damage done and now I have a completely useless hard drive. I took the drive out of the imac and put it into another case to try and fix it. Tried nortons 6.0, techtool 3.0 and diskwarrior. The drive still won't mount. The drive is a 4.0gb quantum fireball se. I'm not sure how to set it to slave mode... could this be the problem... I just kept changing jumpers until the computer booted off of it's own drive and not the imac's.
Anyway.. norton's would attempt to fix it but would come to a part where it said that the disk drivers would have to be installed to proceed any further... and then quit. So I tried disk setup to install a new driver but that didn't seem to help either. So tonight I'm going to try to get it to mount using harddisk toolkit 3.0 and then if it does... work on it with diskwarrior... any suggestions at all... am I screwed? is the girl 3 cubicles down going to kill me?
