How to add a HD
I have purchased a WD3200AAJB to add to my HD in Mac G4, MDD, 1,25GhZ (dual). Is it compatible? If so, do I have to do something to it to make a master drive and make the existing disk a slave drive? If so, what do I haev to do to make the existing drive a slave drive?
Many thanks for your help.

OK folks, I am back after three days hiatus--necessity. I have installed the new disk in the Master slot and the old disk in the slave slot. Powered them both with the yellow wire on the outside (away from shunts). Both disks are in the cable select mode. I have tried to boot up the machine in Shift-s, Shift-v, and from the Install CD (which has been in the optical drive all along). In the first two cases, a white screen appears with a question mark, then changes to another whitish screen with the APPLE, but no revolving gear. With the Install disk, it goes straight to the whitish screen with APPLE, followed by a revolving gear, which stops after it gets tired. I also tried to boot up, assuming the old drive was alive and could be used as a start up disk. Same result. So now, I have run out of options to boot up. Please help. Many thanks in advance. skb
