![]() I guess after having to buy a firewire cable and adapter as both my macs carry thunderbolt ports. It runs great lol it just won't boot! All my other macs are intel based but I know leopard is compatible with both so maybe I could install leopard on my macbook air and put it in target disk mode. ![]() Also if I hold option down at boot it does not list the drive that I took to the repair shop, or the WD, or the USB. It also spits out the dvd at boot and after holding down C along with the Open Finrmware command "eject disc" states can't OPEN the EJECT device (I have to open the drive with the pin hole initially). I have tried all the open firmware work arounds with the WD (usb) and thumb drives in every slot. So make a partition on the WD Mac OS X extended (journaled) mount the dmg no go ? folder. So I took the Seagate up to a computer repair shop and they formatted it in APM and they installed my OSX 10.5 dvd on the disk for 20 bucks (ya I know shoulda just bought the enclosure). Also I do not want to spend any more than I have to. I didn't have an enclosure except my WD My Book which I wasn't gonna take apart. I took a harddrive out of a windows computer an 80gb Seagate Barracuda. I get the ? folder aka hard drive failure. Ok heres the deal I have tried every single way under the sun to boot this g5 (except firewire).
