Hello,
I have a G4 Quicksilver 800mhz that has been running fine until this morning when it froze and I could hear what sounded like one of the hard drives clicking over and over in it (it has two 40gb hard drives, one with OS 9.2 and the other with 10.4). I tried restarting it and could get nothing but a blank screen with a circle and slash through it (no folder or question mark).
I then booted from the 10.4 install CD and got to the installer. I then opened disk utility and neither of the hard drives would show up. I then began to run the installer and neither hard drive would show up there either (the clicking noise hasn't come back btw).
I tried restarting a few more times with and without booting from the CD and get the same result. That's where I'm at now. I have another G4 (466 Digital Audio upgraded to 1ghz) which I'm using now to post this. Any suggestions or advice on what could be the problem or how to proceed with troubleshooting my Quicksilver would be greatly appreciated.
Happy New Year and thanks in advance!
