[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 820606, member: 56379"] Are you sure that you tried ALL of the jumper settings? I know on my 933 Quicksilver it can be very tricky. Try both the "master" & "slave" jumper settings. Also, do you have one or two hard drives installed in this computer? If you have 2, that can mess things up if the jumpers aren't properly setup. If your hard drives are the correct type (ATA or IDE), and the jumper settings are correct, then everything should work fine. Otherwise, it may be a problem with the computer. Hope this helps, - Nick p.s. I'm assuming that the hard drive you're starting to boot from already have an OS installed on them...otherwise the hard drive won't show up in the "Startup Disk" preference area! [/QUOTE]
