[QUOTE="amerikiwi, post: 922812, member: 125946"] Hi Mac SK - thanks so much for your input too. My other Mac I was trying to use as the host for the target mac has a newer operating system which I thought was the ideal when using target mode, but do you think the difference in formatting might have thrown the older eMac into a tailspin or something? Seems weird to me but maybe like you said the hard drive was getting ready to go anyway and the intrusion just pushed the thing over the edge. When you suggested hooking up the hard drive as a "slave" in another machine, did you mean to remove a working hard drive from a different mac and replace it with this possibly bad one to try to get it going? Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
