[G4] Panther on a G4 400Mhz PCI Yikes...

[lavode at comcast.net]

I have restarted my Mac many times since putting 10.3.5 on, and OS X has never lost the startup drive.  I have had two internal drives in the computer ever since I got OS X.  Is it possible you have the jumper settings on your drives incorrect?  Mine are set up as Master and Slave, not cable select.

HTH,
