[QUOTE="dannye, post: 1622222, member: 155554"] Thanks for the feedback! I didn't install an OS on the new hard drive - I thought I would be able to install it from my TIme Machine backup once I got to recovery mode. I just reinstalled the original HD in Bay 2, then tried both startup manager and recovery mode, both with the same results. Can't get past the flashing question mark. Why doesn't the computer recognize my USB Recovery Drive? I have a Macbook Pro (also running 10.7.5), and it recognizes the drive just fine... One of my coworkers mentioned that the battery on the motherboard of these original Mac Pros can go bad. Should I try replacing the battery? Or is that barking up the wrong tree? [/QUOTE]
