Ta, will keep that in mind. I usually arrange it with the techos to just send the drive in for replacement and I use an external FW drive on the Mac so the designer can keep working. When I have to send the whole Mac in I have to dig out an old production Mac (G4/500DP) and boy do they complain about the speed difference!!! ;-D Coj Linda <XPressoBean at mac.com> Sent by: x4u-bounces at listserver.themacintoshguy.com 15/09/05 02:18 PM Please respond to "A place to discuss Mac OS X for the casual user."

I wonder if the issue is deeper than the drive. The G4 in my past ended up with a new power supply and new logic board, after 3 in-warranty hard disks had been chewed up. Thank goodness for AppleCare on that machine. It’s not often the problem is that “deep”, but there are times. Yours may be one. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/pipermail/x4u/attachments/20050915/e560b83d/attachment.html
