[G4] Harddrive problem

[Al Poulin]

DiskWarrior sees the bad drive.  Maybe your OS X installer CD can too.  
If not, look into doing the refrigerator freezer overnight trick.  This 
sometimes brings the drive to life, temporarily.  Others can explain 
better than I.  Also, look in the archives of this list or the G-List.

Again, good luck,

Al Poulin

proactive self-defense is for the rest of us.
