| Clamshell Issues I recently purchased a used Clamshell iBook G3/300. It had a working 3GB drive and OS9. I wanted to use it as a midi/sample dump device along with an old skool sampler. Didn't work out. So, I decided to install a larger hard drive and use it w/ OSX for those occassions when I needed to travel somewhere and wanted to do a little work, but didn't trust taking my main powerbook. Well, I took it apart by following ifixit.com instructions took out the drive and reinstalled a new one. Well, the Mac starts up, but doesn't see the drive at all. Is there any thing that I could have done to cause this? Any other feedback would be appreciated. Thanks. Homer  |

| If you have the OS 9 Install Disc, have you tried booting off that and launching Drive Set Up to see if the drive is recognised there and then Initialising the new HD? |

| If it can't be seen to be initialized, make sure the cables are correctly connected and not damaged.

| Thanks. Tried the initialization tactic. No luck. Seems as if there is a cable problem or worse. I'm sure it's me. The clamshell worked with it's original 3 GB drive, but that just had to go. Too small. I'll do another run thru and see. Thanks. homershines |
