[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1622129, member: 56379"] The flashing folder icon definitely means something is wrong between the hard drive and the logic board (hard drive, data cabling). Firstly...I don't know what sort of computing resources you have available…but if your Mac Pro is not working properly…how did you install an OS on the 2nd hard drive? Does it boot ok from the CD/DVD drive? If this 2nd hard drive didn't cure the problem (and the 2nd HD is definitely good)…then it could be something to do with the data cabling. How about trying this 2nd HD (or maybe even the original HD)…in a different hard drive bay. Maybe the HD bay you've been trying (assuming it is the same bay) has some sort of problem. - Nick [/QUOTE]
