OK - my 1st Gen dual 2ghz PowerMac G5 was acting a little strange - apps slow to launch, apps freezing at launch so I restarted. No change. I then noticed a second drive that I had installed and formatted to install Ubuntu PPC onto was not mounting. I figured it was time to boot with the Tiger install DVD and run Disk Utility. It would not even recognize either drive - it would just spin and never show and disks. Then I shut down and rebooted from my backup external drive. The primary drive on the G5 mounted on the Desktop (but not the other one) and I tried to run Disk Utility from there, but same result. I then shut down and pressed the hardware reset button on the motherboard. Turned it back on, booted from the DVD - same result. I even figured that I might as well just re-install OSX, but the installer never sees the drive as available.
Any experts with some help out there?
Thanks
