[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1685452, member: 175845"] OK, and I've just been trying to recall a very vague thing about some Macs not being able to boot without an internal drive installed, but maybe that was just a bad dream or was it…. Sort of like some portables wouldn't boot without a battery being installed… You never know and I can't recall… :( [/QUOTE]
