New ATA/IDE Drive - Mac OS X Won't Mount the Drive!
I have a problem- I installed a new 80GB WD ATA drive to my old PM G3 - everything went in smoothly, hooked it up to the "Ultra ATA" slot on the motherboard, and booted. (It is now the only disk, set to Master - jumpers, not cable select)
The main objective is to get out of OS 8/9 and get into X. I put in the OS X install disc, and get all the way to "Select Destination" - the drive is no where to be seen.
I went into the installer logs, says that the drive didnt mount, and it tried again, then gave up.
I then went into Disk Utility, click on the Disk, saw the Volume didnt mount... Erased the Disk, to Mac OS X E - and it appeared to erase - but - still no mount...
I have erased the Disk too... still no mount, the computer clearly knows the disk is there, but wont mount the volume.
Never had a problem like this before, and you guys are so impressive!
Hope you can help me out!
Thanks!
