Power Mac G4
1 GB DUAL PROCESSOR
ser #XB2252G1M1X/1536MB/2X80GB/GEF4 video card
Hard drive chirps, and system runs very slow, hangs often and needs frequent reboots.
Old drive is:
IBM Deskstar, Model IC35L080AVVA07-0 ATA/IDE
7200 RPM, 3.5 inch AT 80 Gig
I ordered a new hard drive from New Egg, Hitachi Deskstar.
part # 0A35397
model HDP7250GLAT80
Capacity 500GB
Should I have bought something different?
Should I have bought a matched pair?
I don't know which drive to replace, I assume it is the lower drive, from Apple Support document Power Mac G4: Installing Internal Storage Devices
(Article: HT1815) describing the "0" and "1" drives.
I assume the upper drive is the OS 9 drive. Do I still need that configured as OS9? I don't think I need OS9 capability anymore.
I haven't opened the foil package yet.
Will my computer recognize the 500GB disk? Or do I need additional card?
Thanks, John
