Dear classic, thank you for the hint to use a disk drive preused inside a more recent machine.

Just for clarification:

Which machine did you use to initialise the drive and set up partions (like your iMac G4)?

What a drive setup software and software version did you use?

Did you perform any kind of harddisk magic, like using a specific partition of a restricted size as a 68k boot partition (like using only the first partition with a size of max 2 GB)?

Btw: nice maxed out 630
