Sussed out the HD was operating as a 'slave' therefore unable to mount, when changed the jumper setting all was well - give it a try.

Hi all,
Last night I switched an 80 GB hard drive that was in an external enclosure with the 10 GB hard drive that was in my 400mhz indigo iMac, in an attempt to cut down on peripheral clutter. All went well, but when I started up the computer, from the startup CD, the new transplanted drive refused to mount. The new hard drive by the way is an 80 GB IBM Deskstar 120 GXP, which I already formatted in HFS+.
The Apple System Profile was able to recognize the hard drive, giving the vendor, revision, and serial numbers, but it did not recognize any Mac Os partitions. In addition, although it displayed the size of the hard drive, it thinks that the disk is empty, which it�s not.
Drive Setup said that the disk could be initialized, but it would not give the options of mounting the disk, or updating the driver.
What I would like to know is this; I there a way I
can
get the new disk to mount without losing the data on
the disk?
