"No hard disks found" with YDL 2.3 on new dual 1GHz G4

[Jim Steed]

Hello,

This is what I did.  You don't really have to do anything more complicated
than following your nose; there's no jumpers to change or anything to hack.

1.  Pop the thing open.  Use the Coke-can tab on the side.

2.  The drive is towards the back of the machine, latched into the part of
the chassis still standing up, screwed into a metal drive bay.  Unplug the
two things in the back.  Unlatch the metal box from chassis.

3.  There is another metal box towards the front of the chassis with nothing
in it.  Unlatch that and swap it with the one you took out in step 2.

4.  There should be another ATA cable near the box from step 3.  One end
goes into the drive, and one end goes into a slot on the motherboard labeled
"ATA66".  For the end that goes in the drive, make sure you get the
connector at the very end as which connector you chose decides whether the
drive is primary or secondary (as per the default jumper settings).

5.  Plug the power cable into the drive (similar to the one you took out in
step 2).

6.  Close the machine and turn it on.
