How do I initalise a HD from a PC?....sorry I'm thick...
I've just been given a almost new 20 gig IBM travelStar laptop HD which came from a Dell LaptopPC and has Win2000 on it. I popped it in my Pismo G3/400 Powerbook to replace the 6 gig but when I try to install OSX (or 9) they cant "see" it to even initialize/partition. I assume I need to get an apple HD driver on it but how the F@%$*& do I do that?!? Help for the misguided please!! <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Now is your chance: If you want two partitions, choosed 'advanced setup' from one of the menus, and make 2 HFS+ partitions instead of one.

since you say that the comp can't see the orig apple drive it just makes it seem even more like a bad conn.
It's all solid state; no ribbons to come undone. If I were you, I'd pop the 20 GB back in, so that when you get it working again, it's not all for nothing.
My lucky guess is that you didn't properly seat the harddisk in the caddy.
