Q: extra hard drives won't show--MacPro
My Mac pro:
Early 2008
4 GB ram
El Capitan
2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB
500 GB SATA Disk
I am posting this again cause I seem to have lost the original post---nowhere to be found...LOL
I installed 2 HD's from my PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8), G4-AGP:450:Sawtooth:2GB ram:2HD, I did as instructed by opening the door, removing them then placing them into the HD bays of the Mac Pro. Unfortunately neither one will be acknowledged. One was used for storage so there is not OS in it, just files but the other was/is a master drive so that is most likely the reason it hung up on reboot, it got confused as to which drive to start with, old or new...it has Mt. Lion
Do the additional drives for the Mac Pro need to be a certain kind, these are ATA drives that do not show.
Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), 4GB ram, Early 2008
