[QUOTE="Chilbear, post: 742239, member: 32643"] Do you have any way to format the slave or maybe install another non OS X or better yet a fresh drive? It may be a bad drive as you guessed but perhaps the ones within the machine are damaged somehow. How about disconnecting all drives and inserting the DVD and it should start from the DVD because it has the only OS it can find. Another thought is - is there any other PCI cards installed? It may be getting hung up during the startup. Pull them out if true and add one at a time. [/QUOTE]
