I got a 2TB sata HD and Pata Sata converter for it to use in my DA G4
running 10.1.11.

It's hooked up to a 133ATA card. I have 120GB boot drive and 300GB data
drive.

The computer just hangs on boot-up. The optical drive does nothing.
Starting with the optical empty
does nothing. The computer just hangs.

It's had startup issues for some time. It order to reboot it you have to
use the button on the front. Same
for shutdown. I just let it run all the time.

Looks like the giant 2TB is useless for this machine and I realize this
computer is 15 years old. Unless somebody
has some ideas.

Thanks
Mark Murphy
