[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1208811, member: 56379"] Many times we can "rack our brains" trying to figure out a problem...and if it turns out to be a dead hard drive...nothing we can do. Regarding that external drive you mentioned...your e-Mac uses an "IDE/PATA" drive. If that firewire drive is SATA...it won't work. Thus if you need a replacement IDE/PATA drive (3.5")...you could give one of these guys a try (or any of numerous other vendors): [url=http://www.newegg.com]Newegg.com[/url] [url=http://www.macsales.com]OWC[/url] HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
