I got a 2TB sata HD and Pata Sata converter for it to use in my DA G4
running 10.1.11.
It's hooked up to a 133ATA card. I have 120GB boot drive and 300GB data
drive.
The computer just hangs on boot-up. The optical drive does nothing.
Yes, I’m having the same problem with my 2000 Quicksilver w/2001 Processor.
Using it Offline with all my financial Data on it.

I've done more testing. This new drive just sits in the computer dumb and
gives no signal that it's there. Neither my DA G4
or my G5 register it. It's nothing.
I tried running Drive Genius and it doesn't find anything there.
I put the 1TB Seagate in my G4 again and zapped the Pram a couple of

Thanks to everybody, I think I'm going to get an intel Mac ...
A very wise choice.
Flexibility and reliability of MacOS X improved dramatically after the
switch to an Intel platform.
10.4.8 was the more-or-less first instance which supported Intel. Alas,
the underlying Intel hardware was

It's had startup issues for some time. It order to reboot it you have to
use the button on the front. Same

Does the PATA/SATA adapter have a jumper to set Master/Slave? You could
be having Master/Slave issues.
The SATA to PATA (IDE) converter I have does, indeed, have a Master/Slave
jumper, but, alas, no position which is explicitly Cable Select.
The drives in BW G3 and later machines support

I'm not following this thread closely, so perhaps this isn't right,
but some of the early G4's lacked LBA48 support for larger HDs in
firmware. There was a patch to enable LBA48 support for bigger drives, but
I think this was for models prior to the DA?
FWIW, I have been using giant SATA drives for the last 5-6 years
with my 2002 G4 Mystic, which is an earlier machine than the DA. I
currently have a Seritek 1s2 pci SATA card (2 internal ports) with a
2tb Seagate and a 3tb Western digital mounted above the optical drive
slot. I have also used
Can the G4 address that much space?
Remember, the SCSI drives only have one parameter block for specifying the
LBA (but there are several parameter block formats).
Small/large IDE drives are accessed in this way:
1) Small drives have one parameter block, whereas
2) large drives use the same
I have 120 and a 300 in it right now. The 120 is the boot drive. I have a
lot of video files that are filling up the 120. Will a 500GB pata work?

Disconnect it and fix your problem. Then get a smaller drive.
Why encumber your trusty work horse with problems?
Balance is very valuable in a system.
