Just got a new cube, it had 9.2 installed on it's original 20 Gig HD.

I decided I'd just upgrade to 10.3 and a 120GB drive all at once. I put the new drive in, unpartitioned, and then put the first panther installation disc in the drive, and started the computer, thinking it would do the rest. But it's just blinking happy mac, and '?'. What do I do now?

Hold down the "c" key to tell the computer to boot from the cd. If that doesn't work, try resetting the p-ram by holding Apple + option + P + R. The computer will restart over and over (it makes the startup dong over and over) and after 3 or 4 times, release and hold C. It will boot from the cd.

Should the new drive be master, slave, or cable select?

I can't quite decipher the jumper settings on the old one.
