[QUOTE="Mac SK, post: 922555, member: 21908"] { Details that may be useful: installer disk loads but can't find a "destination volume" to reinstall the new system to. I don't have the proper version Apple Hardware Test for this eMac so I haven't been able to check the disk with that, but I did run Disk Utility (from the 10.3.5 installer disk) and it can't seem to find the hard drive either (shows the installer CD itself, but nothing else).} Sounds like the HD crashed. When the machines traded format information it was enough to crash your hard drive. Ive seen drives work fine one day and be gone the next. When you get the drive out hook it up as a slave in another machine and see if you can format it. [/QUOTE]
