[QUOTE="msaz87, post: 1016209, member: 147023"] Well my problem is solved -- but I'm not totally sure why. I started to try and access the new HD via target disc mode and that wasn't working, so I put in the old HD and tried that -- which did work. With that working, it made me want to try accessing the install disc again, which this time worked for some reason... so, long story short, I was able to re-install the OS and everything seems to work fine now. I don't know why it did what it did to begin with, or why I couldn't use the boot commands before... but I'm just happy it works now. Thanks so much for everyone's help! [/QUOTE]
