Here's an interesting situation my club got itself into.
The 40 Gigabyte drive in our old G4 is too full, so they bought a new Seagate
320 gig internal ATA/IDE to add to the system. I was asked to install it.
The jumper was removed to make it a SLAVE, but it appeared as a 128 gig
internal on restart. Almost 200 gigs lost.
Ahh, so this Mac has an ATA limit. I wish the Mac User Group Store / PowerMax
would have mentioned this when we spoke with them. (Yes, we gave them all Mac
specs before ordering the drive).
What can I do? Is there a PCI card I can install to leave this new drive as a
slave to the original Apple/Quantum Fireball, and recover the lost space?
What other suggestions can you offer?
