[QUOTE="noregretoc, post: 1032537, member: 150408"] Yes, I checked everything and attempted the replacement a couple times. Both the new drive and old drives stated the same error. Both were recognized in Disc utility when I booted from the OSX CD, but both said 0 bytes. I suppose its possible the new drive I got was faulty as well. That would be my luck. I guess my best bet is to get a SATA dock and connect the old HD and see if I can boot it from USB. How slow is it when booting from Firewire? This is a 1.86 machine. I am just wondering if its worth it to keep it around, or if I should just sell it for parts and sell the replacement drive I bought and buy a new Mini :D [/QUOTE]
