[QUOTE="yerbluez, post: 957752, member: 133181"] I just installed a 80gb hard drive into my PowerBook G4 1.25 ghz. My old hard drive had crashed so I ordered one off of ebay. After installing it and putting the pb back together when I start it up the only screen that appears is the notorious Grey screen with a flashing question mark on a folder. I tried booting it while holding down "c" with the system software cd in. Nothing seems to work. Can someone point me in the right direction here? Does this sound like the HD needs to be formatted or that it just isn't being recognized? Thanks. Sean PowerBook G4 15" 1.25ghz [/QUOTE]
