I have a PM G5 dual 2Ghz, 10.4.11 that doesn't recognize the 1TB HD I have installed. It has been running fine for over 4 years and now suddenly it(the 1TB drive) doesn't even show up when I boot-up holding the option key?? I'm really confused, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Doesn't sound good, does it boot from the OSX Install Disc?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
Thank you BDA for replying to my problem. I don't have an OSX disk, so I will locate one and give your suggestion a try. Thank you again for offering help.
