[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 914038, member: 24160"] This is what I would do on my own machine - just throwing out ideas and this is the best one I've got. FYI, while I've been playing with hardware for a lot of years, my only experience with Macs are with Intel machines. Since you still have your old drive as backup, and someone else did this for you, I'd start over again. Boot up with the Tiger disc, go into the menu and open Disk Utility from there, erase the drive, repartition as a single volume, format, and install again. Then check out the drive before you import anything back over to it. (We've got some long time Mac users here, if they have better idea, they'll come along.) [/QUOTE]
