I have a B&W G3 400 at home and it has 2 interal SCSI drives and an interal IDE drive. For some reason OS X is not letting me install onto any of the drives. The 2 SCSI drives are small so it doesn't matter if I remove them. Should I remove them and set the IDE drive to the Primarey IDE bus and then instal OS X?
Thanks for any help

Using the IDE as a primary is a very good idea.
I'm pretty sure that if you reconnect the SCSI drives after installing OS X, OS X will recognize them.

I have the exact same machine with 1 internal IDE and 1 SCSI. The IDE drive is the primary drive, and I haven't had any problems installing OSX (10.0 all the way through to 10.3).
OSX has always seen the SCSI drive, except now panther thinks it's an ejectable drive...

Is your IDE on the Primary bus?

Does anyone know if I can use a regular IDE cable in the Mac? I would assume so but I', not sure since I've never had to do it. This G3 400 that i have doesn't have a second IDE cable
