[QUOTE="Chamorro, post: 21959"] Older iMacs like the 233/266 (I'm not sure about the 400mhz) just weren't built to recognize HDs >8gigs; I think it's due to the fact that they had ATA/33 IDE controllers. Later macs had at least ATA/66 controllers, which could recognize up to 137 or 138 gigs. BTW, I'd recommend adding some RAM to your machine. OS X requires a min. of 128, but it needs at least double to run well IMO. :) [/QUOTE]
