Powerbook new harddrive install
Hi,
I installed a new Seagate 160GB harddrive in my G4 PB. I booted up using Tiger CD and started the step by step process. When I get to the 'Select destination' section there is no drive to select?
Does this mean the drive is bad or am I missing something? I checked the cables and everything is good. I put the old 80GB Fujitsu back in and everything is working.

Did you format the new hard drive?
I have a G4 466 Digital Audio and the largest hard drive my computer will recognize is a 120 GB. Not sure about your G4 PB.
Don't know if I helped any or if you already knew the info. I submitted.
See if it shows up in Disk Utility. You can select that from the menu before starting the Installer when you are booted to the CD.
Will give that a shot tonight...hope that works.
One a side note, does anyone know of a ide to firewire cable for the 2.5inch internal drive. I still want to use my 80GB Fujitsu.
Maybe other members have some specific brands or models of enclosures that they have had good results with.
