[QUOTE="chscag, post: 993080, member: 46727"] You need an IDE type internal burner for your G5, not SATA. I'm not familiar with the inside of the G5 but there should be an IDE connector for the drive. Did you look to see how the old one was connected? Or you can buy an external drive and hook it up via firewire or USB. Firewire would be a better choice since you can't boot from a USB device with your G5. Regards. [/QUOTE]
