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 times before starting up. This time it came up and I didn't get a Kernel Panic. I was able to copy 280GB of files to it. I'm going to put it back in the G5. This new drive is going back.
