Re: 120 GB HD

[Fred Thiel]

Sorry, I'm talking about an internal drive. I bought a Western 
Digital 120 GB drive for about $50 with rebates, but on the package, 
it says the minimum system requirements for Mac are a G4 with an OSX 
10.2 operating system. I bought a 80 and 120  previously, about one 
and two years ago, respectively, but didn't even look to check if 
there were any requirements on those. I installed them in my 
Quiksilver 733 with no problem. I tried installing the original 40 GB 
HD from the G4 in my iMac. After installing, I re-formatted it, but 
the iMac would not boot from it. The drive said that it was made for 
the G4, so I have run into this type of thing before.

Are you talking about an internal or an external drive? And how is 
it "only for a G4 running OSX 10.2" -- can't you just reformat it if 
necessary?
