Hello.
First of all i hope you excause my bad english, hope you understand me anyway. I have a 12gb toshiba harddrive that i want to install in my

powerbook g3 wallstreet. Well, i have installed it already but the problem is that it i cant boot from the drive. I have tryed installing os 9.2.1

by starting from the cd and i can see the drive, initialize it and partion it and even install. But when i reboot i just get a small floppydisc on

the screen, witch means that it cant read the drive.. I have tryed the harddrive in my ibook g3 300 to with the same problem..
I have tryed to reset the PMU and PRAM with no result.
The drive is a toshiba MK1214GAP
please help me

Did you use the correct jumper settings on the hard drive?
