| Thank you very much. "That" is definitely not my Mac. I looked around a bit more, it looks like this is it: http://www.everymac.com/systems/appl...g4_800_qs.html If indeed my mac doesn't support a big harddrive, and that is what my problem is, is there a program I can get that helps me out, or do I have to resort to a smaller drive? And if so, what's the biggest size I can get? Thanks so much for your help!  |

| That mac supports "big drives" as well, however, this one doesn't: http://www.everymac.com/systems/appl...800_dp_qs.html This kind of flakiness could be caused by lack of big-drive support. Otherwise, I'd recommend an Archive and Install. It'd probably be faster than trying to figure out what part of the system is broken - and it does look like some critical parts of the system are breaking. If you can't support big drives, you can get an IDE card to support them, but i'd recommend getting a drive under 120 GB for the system. Also, I would get the Acard card, I am having trouble with SIIG's card (OS 9 drivers, etc).

| No, that's definitely not it. I'm pretty sure the one I linked is correct: I copied the "M8705LL/A" from the System Profiler, and every info I find on the site corresponds with my machine. The one you referenced has a SuperDrive, and I can't even read DVDs. Thanks again; I'll try the Archive and Install. |
