Not at all. >Hi Fred, there isn't any such drive that only works on a G4 & runs OSX. > >You get a HD & format it for your computer & you can install any >operating system that will run on your computer. The Hard drive >doesn't care. True, but on the Rev. A-D iMacs (like Freds, and mine), OS X must exist in a partiton that is fully contained within the first 8GB of the hard disc. In other words, when you install OS X, you must partition the HDD, to have (in this case a 7.5GB first partition (into which you install OS X) and a 113.5 GB second partition for everything else (Music, Data, Applications)) I have such a partition scheme in operation at home, and it works very well.
