Hi, following MacWorld's guide I have replaced the internal HD (replaced a 20 Gb drive with a 60 Gb one) of my iMac 450 slot-in. Apparently, the disk swap went fine, since the Apple Hardware Test (the full one) runs correctly. However, neither my Jaguar install CD nor my apple Recovery CDs recognise the new drive or allow me to format it...
I remember reading somewhere that an OS 9 install CD was needed... problem is, I cannot find mine. Anyone can help?
 
Solved by installing OS9 on my FW HD and booting from it just to format the new HD, following which the Jaguar install CD recognised it.
 
Now, do not loose those CDs. You never know when you might need them again.
