TICKET ARCHIVE -> Installing Internal Hd On G4 Powermac Mirror Drive
realgal - Aug 11, 2005 - 9:01 am
I have an 80GB external Iomega drive in which the power supply stopped working, so I want to install as an internal. I got the casing off, and tried to install following Apple instructions, but can't seem to get the little plastic tab to release the rear drive for installation. I am a novice at this, and am afraid something is going to break if I lift the tab any harder. Any suggestions? Once I do this, is it pretty easy sailing? Thanks for any suggestions as I am a do-it-yourself gal and don't want to pay someone to do this.

Hi Ilene,
My name is Eddy and I'll be working with you to resolve your issue. First off I'm not sure what plastic tab your talking about. Could you please explain it in a bit mor detail to my? The last G4 I added HHD's to were installed on metal mounting plates held in place with screws. Also is this extra drive your putting in going on a ribbon cable of its own or will this use the same ribbon cable has the drive that is already in the G4?
Waiting on your reply.
Regards
Eddy
