1) I agree with Alex, if Drive Setup does not even see the two drives, this may be a problem. But Drive Setup does see your CD drive on the bus right? So maybe your drives are shot. 2) However, it also may be your scsi termination. see apple support search engine: 8600 look for manuals... and you will find the PDF for the 8600. The original 4GB drive sounds like it was taken out ( you have 1 & 2 GB drive ? weird ) http://manuals.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Manuals/desktops/0340355APM8600TIRV.PDF and there is a page showing proper SCSI termination. You need to find out how to set your drive's IDs. But your system worked before your power supply failure, so that kind of shoots the whole SCSI id theory out of the water... unless you changed the id's when you replaced the power supply? 3) With the cover off, boot up on the CD and do the drives have any lights go on? maybe your power cables are messed up? Can you hear them spin at all? 4) I had a drive get wrecked when zeroing the disk and the power went out. Luckily it was a salvage from a drive reseller and they replaced it. Do you have access to another mac which can connect to your scsi drives? Maybe your disks are shot?!?! ( I hope you back up your important files ) Consider looking for a apple service shop who can read SCSI drives, ask them if they can just see the data on the disk. (when my drive went out no-one services SCSI drives in my area - a pity) good luck EBC __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
