I would suggest trying to upgrade to IE 5.1.4 as the 5.0 version had issues. Also, you have introduced a large variable by installing the OS from an iMac disk. It could be that is part of your problem. As far as how the drive sounds, as long as you can boot from it, the disk is probably working Ok. Do you have a disk check program you can run on it to test the disk (Norton, TechTool, etc.)?
