[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1919704, member: 83420"] A warm welcome to Mac-Forums. I'm sorry to say that it looks very likely that the Mac's drive is dead. The original flashing "?" indicated that there was no OS available and/or that the Drive was defunct. The fact that you cannot repair it, erase it, nor reinstall a new OS to it, marks its death knell I'm afraid.:( Ian [/QUOTE]
