Jaguar won't install....

i just recently replaced my hard drive from my G3, problem is jaguar refuses to install on the new one(Maxtor 15GB) While at the select destination screen i cannot select the hard drive(it also is stop-signed-out) i was able to click on it once and i was given an error message along the lines of "not in first 8 gigabytes"...hmmm.

First 8 GB is the answer, the HD must be partitioned, with the first partition less than 8 GB, OS X has to be installed on that partition. This is a limitation of the IDE controller on the logic board on the beige G3
