Unfortuantely, I tried:
1. Putting the hard drive pin to "master" (it was on cable select). 2. Changing the "startup disk" to the hard drive. 3. Resetting the PRAM
Hi Peter,
It's been mentioned before, but I'd like to repeat, I think maybe yer next step is to try the CUDA reset. Its a little, raised, coloured (red, black, white?) cylindrical button on the logic board. Needs to be depressed for 5 seconds or so, once. (Power off the iMac, but leave it plugged in for this.)
Also, it would be helpful to know what model of iMac. So, MHz? Colour? The 8 Gig partition thing applies to OS X on models at 333 MHz or lower.
And no, all other things being equal, there is no heat problem with 7200 RPM drives in iMacs.
And finally, I see you have installed OS 8.5? There's a free update to 8.6 available from Apple's site. Recommended.
