[G4] New Pioneer DVR 109 install issue?

[Daniel Brieck Jr.]

Ron,
Check to be sure that the upper drive is connected as a master to the  
optical drive ATA cable. Apple tends to be creative with the master  
setting. For example in firewire boot mode it only loads from the  
master hard drive and ignores the slave drive altogether. So I am  
assuming that if you might have plugged the master end into the lower  
drive that might be causing the problem of why it is ejecting the  
lower drive and not the top one. Since most G4 systems are set up  
with the master end going to the top primary optical drive.  Check  
that out and see if this help
