[QUOTE="hoov, post: 50567"] My old bondi iMac's power supply "died" about a year ago, so I'm afraid it's just "lying around" doing nothing. It's got an 80gb harddisk, (which I fitted myself) what I'm wondering is, can I put this in my PowerMac G4-MDD so that I have two harddisks, the 60gb, that it's got already, and the 80 for music, photos etc.?? Can somebody give me a step by step guide as to how to do it, (Harddisk fitting for dummies!) I'm not a novice with reagrds to my Mac, but I DON'T want to do anything wrong! The 80gb in the iMac, isn't reformatted, that is when the machine died it was complete with OS, files etc. What happens when my G4 all of a sudden has two harddisks, will it still start-up on the correct 60gb where 10.3.5 is? It's not that there's anything worth saving on the 80gb, as amazingly enough, the day before it died I took a backup of just about everything!!!!!! I'm sorry I know this is a lot of questions at once, but I hope there's someone that can help me. Regards HOOV [/QUOTE]
