[QUOTE="emjay247, post: 661510, member: 55698"] [b]Problem Solved - Bad Video Card[/b] Problem Solved - It was the video card that stopped working at the same time that I added the second hard drive. Either it was a freak coincidence or I shorted it by not being grounded properly. A friend of mine had an old G4 350 mhz laying around that I was able to pull the video card from. I tested it in my G4 and viola! Video with no data loss at all. I still have to buy another video card to utilize both of my monitors, but at least I know now that it was the problem. Hooray! Now I have two hard drives and OS 10.3 AND OS 10.4 running on the same computer. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
