Sounds like it is a 'dead hd' given the circumstances you said. You could always try and take the drive out, and put it in an external enclosure to see if it is recognised on anoth…
Hi folks,
Can anyone offer pointers to solving the following problem for a client? The machine is a G4 1.4GHz Mac Mini, and it was working fine when it left my hands.

Hey gang,
How big can an HFS (aka Mac OS Standard) partition be? I always thought they could be huge, but I've been having some trouble formatting a CF card with Disk Utility in O…
Hi.
Just thought I'd draw your attention to a pile of Newton developer's tools that are being offloaded in Melbourne, Australia. With our dollar currently around 60 cents US, pri…

That is AMAZING. It's like the iPhone but even worse. I'd love to see some scans of this secret contract bullshit.

If it's spitting out factory-pressed DVDs (I'm taking your "all DVDs" literally), then your drive is likely toast. Dual-laser drives use an IR laser for CDs, and a red one for DVDs…
Just recently, my iBook G4 spits out all DVD's without even reading them. CD's work just fine, and it's a Combo drive, so why would it be doing this? If I put the exact same DVD in…

Complete specs: 1.8 Ghz PPC G5, 512 MB RAM, 80 gig HD. I've done nothing to it since buying it, except for the guy at the apple store who inserted the extra 256 stick of RAM.
