Hdlogicboardfailure'd!!

hm_murdock:
Well, I wondered why my old iMac wouldn't boot. I found out why. HD logic failure.

Sux!

I'll tell more later!

Lead Head:
that sucks, also did your space bar break?

hm_murdock:
Nope. The spacebar on the Pro Keyboard is fine.

Here's what happens.

On the Power Mac G3 (Rev 2), on the secondary IDE channel, the drive reports as a 7.5GB EIDE device. It's actually a 20GB drive. The manufacturer is reported as "Laxltr 30049H2 B" rather than Maxtor.

In the iMac that it was pulled from, it caused the IDE channel to not read. With it out, the iMac will boot from CD.

Lead Head:
see if you can find an identical HD from somewhere and switch the logic boards on the HDs, that should work

Orethrius:
Hey, he should be proud, he's got a friggin LAXLTR in there!  Wow!  :D
