[QUOTE="mpkdem, post: 925490, member: 126234"] Hi, I saw this post and tried the recomendations from it. I am trying to start a MAC Mini from a Fantom external firewire HD (1TB). I was able to format and install MAC OS 10.4.6 from an eMac. It started the emac this way so I felt confident it would work on the mini. (1.86 ghz, 512 MB/SD/AP/BT). I tried starting up with the target mode and all I saw was the firewire symbol which bounces around on the screen. I'm pretty sure the internal HD is bad, but I'm not sure aboput the rest of the machine. I've zapped the pram several times. The computer will not start from any CD. What else can I try? [/QUOTE]
