I had fits getting a new Seagate 80GB SATA to
work in my G4 with several SATA cards.  At first I blamed the problems 
on the SATA cards then found out the drive needed to be initialized in a 
G5 before it could be used in the G4 with a SATA card.  It works great now.

I find this hard to believe i put a SATA harddrive in my B & W and i 
never initializes in a G5 I did initialize it in the B & W and I've had 
no problems with it. See below.
