[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1252361, member: 56379"] You need to: - Install an OS on the HD. Probably either OS 10.4 or 10.5. - Boot the computer from the OS install disk. - Then format the HD (Mac OS Extended Journaled). - Install the OS - Then reboot the computer from the HD to see if it works...or if the capacitors are the problem. If you only have Snow Leopard (OS 10.6)...it will not run on a G5 computer. Only Apple computers with an Intel cpu can run Snow Leopard. Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
