Hi all, When i boot up the mac i get the start up 'dong' then nothing, I think the hard drive is dead as it is not spinning up, What is the biggest drive i can install?, I recently installed Panther and all was well, Can i start it up from the CD i have tried but the cd is not spinning, Rather than dump it i would like to give it one more chance, Any help would be much appreciated.

. Anyone know how to get the hadr drive out?

cheers

Geoff
