installing an extra hd in a g5 HOW?

[amagish]

I just purchased a new 200 gig hd for my g5 and would like some online info on how to install it. I have the book somewhere but it is under the house. Any help would be appreciated.

I am glad to find this forum. I will be here often.

All the best,

You can download a manual here;

I did the same on my G5. It's really easy. Just as the manual says, remember to screw out the plastic srews (they will come in handy after the drive is installed). The Serial ATA is really easy! It took me just three minutes to install and that includes the power down.

If you need lots of space, here is one option for you, albeit a bit expensive:

amagish,

Make sure it is a _serial_ ATA drive. And welcome to MacOSX.com!
