I have several IDE hard drives knocking around from PCs. They vary from 1.5Gb, up to about 8Gb. As the drive in my 5400/180 is severaly stretched at 1Gb I thought that I would have a go at upgrading it with one of my surplus drives.
I have a copy of Drive Setup which detects the existing 1Gb IDE drive fine. I have made a boot disk and copied this program on to it. However, when I insert a surplus drive and run the program it fails to detect the hard drive. I've obviously done something wrong here and my knowledge and experience of Macintoshes is limited. If you could help and suggest anything that might help me to realise my goal it would be very much appreciated. Regards Derek :-) Oh, and before you all start to tell me to bin this Mac off and get a decent one, I have read documents about this machine. What I want it for more than anything else is a 'portable' (I do use the word with my tongue in my cheek) presentation machine for small groups. I have MS Office and it will run all of my PowerPoint presentations in one self contained box that is diffult to obtain in the PC world short of a laptop (but the viewing angle on these devices is pretty poor compared to the 5400). -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
