Hello. I'm having a problem with my G4 1.25 Mac mini, I put a larger hard drive in it and added a 1GB stick of RAM. I know the RAM is good because it came from another working computer and I did a test boot with the RAM first.
Then, I went about putting the bigger hard drive in. It was not blank, but, it also is a known good drive, a Toshiba drive, the same brand that was in there before, just 80 GB instead of 40.
So, after putting the CD assembly back on, I turned it on and inserted my install disc, but, it just sat there with the grey screen. So, I turned it off, and held down the C key while turning it on, and it still sits there forever on the grey screen, eventually showing the flashing ?
It also would not eject the disc when I tried holding the mouse down while powering it on.
It is making me think it does not "see" either drive, but I cannot understand why. I also tried resetting the PRAM, but that didn't help either.
Any help would be appreciated.
