[QUOTE="rs2sensen, post: 137105, member: 10090"] Alright, I bought a Seagate 300GB ATA Hard Drive that I want to install in a G4 Powermac (AGP Graphics). I removed the old hard drive, which was a 10GB Quantum Fireball Plus, which I believe was the factory drive, although I'm not sure it was factory. I then installed the new hard drive in exactly the same configuration, jumper on master, same cords plugged in the equivalent spot on the new drive. I inserted my OS X install disk and it booted on that, but it doesn't see the new drive. I was hoping to stick the 10GB drive in another older mac I have, and rely on the 300GB completely for this mac. Any suggestions would be appreciated... [/QUOTE]
