The drive that I'm trying to put in it is used. I swapped that drive into my other machine and used my restore disks to reformat it. It was originally in a Mac. It worked fine in my 'good' machine. But the 'bad' machine won't work with the Mac HD or the HD from the 'good' machine. I suspect the MB is bad, but it's the 2nd one and it boots to the Compaq screen, which the other didn't. I am just wondering if there might be some other problem that I'm not aware of here. (Like last time. I rebuilt an IBM and after buying 3 MB's I found out that they weren't grounding good enough. Fixed that and then it worked fine! Who knew?) Yeah, I'm a compuretard but I'm learning.....
