[QUOTE="Badger, post: 36278"] Are you hearing the normal startup bong or a more rapid, higher pitched beeping? The rapid beeping indicates a hardware problem. Either way, the first thing to do would be to dissassemble the iMac and make sure all the connections are correct and well seated (including the jumpers). Did you press the reset button (also called the CUDA or PMU reset) after you installed the new HD? If not, do it now. Put it all back together and try it. There is an illustrated guide to this type of replacement at: [url]http://www.appletalk.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=436[/url] Badger [/QUOTE]
