I have owned a PC Store for 18 years. This is my first meeting with a MAC. It is a 500Mhz G4 with 512MB RAM. It came from the Government without a HD. I am trying to install a Maxstor 80GB drive.
The OS-10.4 Tiger CD will boot and the installation starts. I managed the partitioning but when the Setup ask me to choose a destination drive the 80GB is not listed. I played with the Drive Utility and noticed at the bottom that the drive was not mounted (definitly a non-PC step). If I try to Check or Restore the drive I get errors. I have no books and no MAC experience. I sure would like to get past this step. It looks like it will be an interesting computer. Thanks.
