I have been looking to buy a Seagate Barracuda 80gb., like yours but 
cannot find one, Where did you get yours from? (did you buy it new or 
used?)

   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
