It freezes randomly when Photoshop is open (even after it's re-imaged with a fresh image) and will not boot from an external firewire drive. The other, identical machine will, but this one will not. I've just re-installed a fresh copy of Panther, but System Prefs will not let me choose the external drive as a Startup Disk and rebooting with Option held down doesn't work, either. Any ideas as to what coule be wrong? -SD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------- Seth Dimbert English, Journalism, Media Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------- --Apple-Mail-25-410066763 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 <HTML><BODY style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; = -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">I've got a couple of PM G4 (AGP) = machines in my Mac Lab and one of them misbehaves.
