[QUOTE="jpinct, post: 1207256, member: 192981"] Hi guys. I just wanted to post a quick follow-up. I finally got around to replacing my hard drive last night. It was actually easier than I expected, but, after getting it all apart I found that the hard drive I ordered was incompatible (pins were different). So, for anyone else reading this who has a mac mini model A1103 Late 2005 G4, you can't use a SATA drive. You need to use a parallel ATA drive instead. See this message on Apple Support: [url=http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1514067]Apple - Support - Discussions - Replacing Mac mini g4 Hard drive ...[/url]. Hope this helps someone!
