[QUOTE="johnwd5, post: 710832, member: 58950"] Hello, I went through some old parts, realized I had a 160gb ata HD from an old project, and wanted to get my daughter running her own Mac. 9.2 install went fine, as did 10.3, I didn't do [U]all[/U] the updates, including security, went to 10.4 install. I'm getting hanging spinning wheel after chime in 10.4 Then circle and line through it. Verbose mode shows "broken phy, aborting start" when I try to boot 10.4 I went back and checked my 9.2 install - booted no problem. The cpu heatsink felt hot so I put a dab of thermal compound in between. Any ideas ? Is it the HD or a board issue ? thanks. [/QUOTE]
