[Cube] cube cannot see a new hard drive

[Judy Smither]

Dear Richard

Many thanks – I managed without having to format.

After posting my plea for help, and being a little more patient, the  
hard drive was seen in target mode and I erased it and then booted  
from the 10.4 DVD on the cube and installed OK.

This is such a helpful site! Even during the chaos of Christmas. Hope  
you had a happy one.

Regards

Judy Smither
