    Clicking sound??

    You know that soft click sound you hear after you shutdown or put the MAC to sleep? Well, after I installed a new hard drive, I noticed I'm hearing that same click even while I'm using the MAC. Is this normal? Is it the MAC just resting while it's idle? Someone please put my mind at ease...

    Jumper settings for MAC G4 original hard drive???

    I just installed a 2nd hard drive - a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 120GB Ultra ATA/133. I read that it's best to set the old drive jumpers as "Master" and the new hard drive as "Slave." I know that with the new drive, all I had to do was remove all the jumpers to get it to ""Slave" mode. What I'm...
