Sorry if I'm late chipping in.
Have never tried to fit a larger hard drive into my 17" iGHz machine
but, for the last year
have been booting from a 250 GB external LaCie drive. All of it's
recognised - the original
80 GB internal drive simply became too small.
The external drive was made bootable by cloning. Can't remember now
if I used CCC or
SuperDuper. Anyway, it works seamlessly.
Hope this helps.

I think discussion of this happened once before, but I couldn't
find it in my archives:
Do the last G4 flat-panel iMacs have 48-bit addressing in the hard
drive controller, allowing >137GB drives? I just got a great deal
on a 300GB Seagate ATA drive, and I'd like to put it in a 17'' 1.25
GHz Superdrive G4 iMac, but if it won't recognize all of it I can
always use it in an external FW enclosure I already have.
If anybody knows and/or has experience with this, please share
either on- or off-list. Thanks.
