[QUOTE="josef_G, post: 966713, member: 136796"] No, resetting the pram does not work. Ive examined the connector that goes from the mobo to the hd and it appears to be fine, but we all know looks can be deceiving 1.33 ghz processor 768mb Ram Hard drives I am using: [URL="http://www.samsung.com/global/business/hdd/productmodel.do?type=62&subtype=67&model_cd=294"]160 Gig hd[/URL] [URL="http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/80gn/80gn.htm"]60 Gig HD[/URL] The disc is a burnt copy but the dude claimed it was the same disc he used to install it prior to selling to me. I do believe the guy that it was working before (talked to on the phone) Another thing I forgot to mention is when first starting to dive into mac's I was unaware that installing OSX to a usb controlled drive is not possible (cannot boot from). After the usb install I would reattach to the internal hd connector and the drive would read approximately 20 gb difference than the total space of the hard drive. Its like the files are on there but its not being seen. Ill try to explain in more sense. 60gb hd running through usb. Install OSX while converted through the usb port. Receive the error "OSX will be unbootable through this volume" Attach internally, load up disk utility and the drive reads "39.xx gb of available space" although it should be 60gb. While booting from the firewire drive and plugging the 60gb hd in from usb, I am able to format the drive and get the 20gb back and have 59.x total. [/QUOTE]
