[G4] RE: Testing HD functionality and G4 size limitations

The only way around the limitation is to purchase a 3rd party i/o card and
install the drive on it.  You should be able to boot from it.  I have a
similar setup on a 2001 Quicksilver, a 250gb SATA drive using a SATA i/o
card.  I also still use the original IDE ports with (2) 120gb 7200rpm WD
drives in RAID 0, for backup.

Hi: I have a 200 gb HD that was on PC when the power supply got fried.  
Is there way to test it's functionality.  Also I know there is size 
limit on HD's on a Graphite G4 is there a way around this. When I try to 
format it the task bar gets so far then stops.  Any advice would be 
appreciated.  Thanks   DKline
