[QUOTE="milfmann, post: 21707"] Many of the older 233 imacs do not recognize the CS enabled jumper setting of the hard drive. I had a similar problem when I installed a new 40GB Maxtor HD in my rev. B bondi blue along with the Panther OS. Everything loaded fine, but I couldn't get the OS to boot. Drive manufacturers claim that most hard drives ship with the master jumper setting as the default, but in my case, the CS enabled setting was the default. Look to see if the jumper pin is in the "master" setting. Once I switched to the master setting, OS 10.3 booted just fine. [/QUOTE]
