Is the primary drive set as Master?

The top drive, the additional, should be Slave. Or, you could reverse the two with no negative effects. If there is only one drive, then it must be the one at the very end of the cable, and it must be Master. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Second drive problems?
I have a gigabit 450 dual, I installed a second hard drive on. The original drive, a 20 gig, has OSX 10.4 installed, while the second drive, a 60 gig, has OSX10.2, OS10.3, and OS9.2 installed on three partitions. The OSes were installed while the drive was in a B W. I can boot into the 10.2 and 10.3 partitions fine from OS 10.4, but 9.2 will not start. I attempted to reinstall OS 9 by booting from its install cd, but the computer can only see the 20 gig drive booting from cd -- the 60 gig drive is invisible.
