Finally, someone has found the answer! Yes, it's true, it was my cats all along!

I never stated that it was an issue. I thought I was clear about this being something that was resolved all along. I'm sorry you feel that way, but it was never my intention to waste anyone's time. As for "retaliation", that is ludicrous. The first thread was posted by Macosx.com, not by me...

I related this problem to numerous experienced and seasoned Mac techs beginning with my local Apple authorized dealer, and going so far as to contact specialists in the area of hard drives and logic boards around the country. I have discussed it with people via phone and email, and posted this...

Hey, there's no nnnneeeed (intentional spelling) to be rude here. I believe your contribution was. Well, I guess compared to that, my postings are "prolix", but to call me a "prolix ass", and to be so harsh is a little over the top, what? Then, I'm accused of "not contributing", and...

Nope. And just because you don't fully understand how it was fixed is no reason to claim that the solution is "bogus". I followed your advice when I posted this in tech help back at the beginning of November, and it didn't resolve the problem (no disrespect meant), but it led me to finding...

Nope, it's not the logic board...

Did all of that, didn't solve the problem. I'm not sure I understand "bios" on a Mac. Could you explain?

Oops, sorry you got the wrong impression, but this was designed to be a humorous AND educational post. I wasn't intending to ruffle your feathers. I just assumed you were secure enough in your knowledge to have a little fun poked at it... The minute I wrote the comment about partitioning, I...

And we thank you, Mr. Science, but this is a 120Gb internal drive in an iBook G4 933Mhz machine, so it's all so irrelevant to the issue before the dais. Please to apply considerable brainiac power to actual problem. Ooooohhhh, So Sorry, but that would be impossible to do, considering the...

This is an iBook G4. A notebook computer. There are two separate busses. One for the Optical Drive and another for the Hard Drive. There is no room inside of the case to add additional drives on those two separate dedicated internal ATA busses, so there is no reason to specify which master or...

First, please remember that this is a resolved issue. The problem has been repaired, and the computer is now functioning properly. This is a brain teaser test to see if anyone I haven't told about this can figure it out. So here we go: The original factory 40Gb Hitachi Travelstar worked...

I will bet that no one can give me that answer to this problem, I don't care how seasoned of a Mac user/tech you are. Here's the problem, you give me the answer.... IF YOU CAN! I just completed several upgrades to my 933Mhz iBook G4 including replacing the old (dead) 40Gb hard drive with a...

Your question was answered in my original post.

I just completed several upgrades to my 933Mhz iBook G4 including replacing the old (dead) 40Gb hard drive with a factory sealed 120Gb Seagate hard drive, replacing the original CW-8123-C combo drive with a new UJ-845 SuperDrive, and adding a 512Mb RAM module. After I reassembled the iBook...
