[G4] Re: Upgrading g4 to a larger internal bootable hard drive

[Eric Wood]

Hi David,

I don't get the question mark when I boot from SATA. Are you certain  
that the startup disk has been set since you've been using the SATA?  
If you're not, just visit the proper preference pane and select your  
hard drive.
