CUBE Help Hard Drive Seagate
Hello,
I finally got around to upgrade my Hard Drive on my Apple Cube and got an 80 GB HD Ultra ATA /100 ST 380013A from Seagate. I installed the hard Drive and tried to install Panther but it won't install. The installer checks the CD and then it starts to install and then I get a software errors message. Please install agan. I tried to install it several times and I get the same message. I tried different settings on the jumper cables but it still does not work. I installed back the old drive 20 GB Maxtor (with panther) and it ran perfect. Im not sure if the hard Drive is set up wrong or Im doing something wrong during installation? This is the second HD I got because I thought something might be wrong with the first one. A step by step directions would be very helpful.
Thank you

my cube is running a 80 gb hd (fujitsu) with no problems.

When booted from the CD, under the installer menu, you can choose Disk
Utility, go there, then select your disk, and the Erase pane, now select format (you probably want Mac OS extenden (journaled) ) name the disk if you want and click erase...
Hope this helps
:-)
P.S. If you want to partition the disk choose the partition pane, but I see no reason to this (it has been discussed endlessly in these forums so do a search if you want to find out more)
