That was it, the HD was not highlighted in the preferences. Thank You very much Neal :D

On a different note since switching both drives to the ATA card when I reboot I get a alnernating blinking folder/question mark and Mac OS Face this lasts for about 5 seconds then the computer displays the Apple and restarts. Are you seeing this behavoir ?

I just got an OWC Firewire case for my old 60 gig IBM drive out of my G4. http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Item.cfm?ID=5774&Item=OWCMEFWU2A6 I have to say that I am impressed with the case and it seems to work great. Neal

Thanks for the replys, I don't notice a slowdown, tonight I think I will connect the 80 to the System board and just have the 200 on the ATA card. I will make a note if I think there is a speed increase/decrease and post the results. Neal

This weekend I installed a 133 ATA PCI card in my G4 (Digitl Audio) to support my new 200 gig drive. I have my 80 as master and the 200 as slave and both are connected to the new board. This config works fine but when I run System Profiler it shows both drives as SCSI drives does anyone know if...

My son fixed the problem but he did it so fast that I will post an update when I understand the steps. I had called Apple today (for free Panther still under warranty) and the tech said I was the 2'nd person in 2 days to have this problem she says she thinks it's a Panther bug.

I just swapped out my 60gig drive with an 80gid and reinstalled panther I used CCC too clone the drive and then reinstalled with an archive. System runs fine but all 16gigs of iTunes songs are not found so I have to go through each song and redirect iTunes as to where the song resides. The...

Thanks, looks like I would not make a good detective. Mac users ROCK !.

Move2mac will not help your situation

You are going to have to email all your saved messages to your self and then reopen them in the PC mail client, I suppose Outlook. You might be able to copy your bookmarks to a floppy (your Mac can write to a PC formatted floppy), then you can try to import them in your new browser. Good luck...

Bobw, are you sure ?, I have been in that case a few times and I don't remember seeing anymore than the two power plugs on the ribbon cable Neal

Just tried Reflections from my 7200 RM 80 gig IBM Deskstar, still to slow I expect a fix from Apple soon, this is unusable.

I have the 60 gig drive that came with my G4 and I get the same message when I try to play Reflections.

I was working from home today on my blazing Dell Optiplex GX1 (350 mhz) running XP so I popped in my Knoppix demo disk I got from the Linux/VM guy at work and rebooted. This creates a Debian Linux environment with the KDE graphical desktop and runs off the CD so nothing is installed. I cruised...

Arden, the 80 is internal but the project has just taken a right turn. I was notified on one of the other forums that my G4 is an ATA/66 which has a limit of 137 gig so to take advantage of the full 200 gig I need an ATA/133 card. I just ordered one from OWC and also a Firewire case. So know I...
