Q: Powermac g4 not seeing hard drive?
Hi guys,
So I just recently got a Powermac G4 Quicksilver that had 10.3.9 on its hard drive and inside three other hard drives, two of which were hooked up to a sonnet tempo ultra ata 66 controller card. I installed 10.5.8 through a nifty hack I found online onto one of the other drives. The problem is that 10.5.8 isn't recognizing the controller card because when I run it, two of my hard drives are missing whereas previously on 10.3.9 they showed up. Is there a driver missing or something? If so where could I find it? Or is it something else?
Thanks in advance,
David

I fixed it using my noggin. I simply shut down the computer, opened it up, disconnected the idea cable from the disk drive, plugged it into the third hard drive and it showed up first time. Thanks for all the help guys!
