[QUOTE="bryphotoguy, post: 387798, member: 26695"] Hold down the option key after power up. It should bring up a purple screen where you can choose which drive you want to boot. Maybe it's trying to boot to a CD or something weird. I was upgrading my 350MHz this afternoon and was having a similar problem. Someone took out the 7GB HD that was in the machine and shoved in a 20GB drive. When I shoved the 7GB HD in, it wasn't doing anything. It just stayed at the gray screen. I then realized he also took off the jumper pin from the 7GB which is why the computer wouldn't recongize the HD. Once I figured that out, I did the above and loaded up 10.3 flawlessly.
