OK, I did it fine, and put in the new drive, but something else is wrong here. This is exactly what the OLD HD did before I pulled it because it would not take a system no-how! This one keeps giving me strange quits and message with the installers, no matter what system I try. It always initializes perfectly (Os 8.1, standard) but then I can NOT get a system in, and I'm beginning to think the first drive was not broken but there is something else wrong......but what??? The original drive was a Western Digital Caviar 2.0 gig and the replacement is a 1.6 gig, same kind. Both were able to be initialiazed simply and quickly but I am getting all sorts of crashes, quits, unable to read installer files, etc, etc, you name it. Tech Tool Pro says the drive is fine. Now what could be wrong? It's a shame because this machine is a one owner and looks as clean and shiny new as the first day it was out of the box, never abused. The CD drive sounds perfect...could it not be reading the installer CDs correctly? They work on other machines...<sigh> -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
