[QUOTE="TRI, post: 1509478, member: 299820"] I will post the results, thanks. I didn't know that these machines can boot from an OS on an external drive (or computer in Target Mode) via Firewire. That seems to be a great basic troubleshooting maneuver! I sent away for a $13 hard drive enclosure that has Firewire on it, the one that I had was only USB. The new enclosure will hold a test drive with OS X on it. [/QUOTE]
