    The problem.
            I'm trying to install a Quantum TM 2.5 GB ATA drive on a G3
    mini tower with an 8.5 GB SCSI drive already installed. I've set the
    jumpers on the ATA drive for "master to slave" setting and changed
    the Apple ATA CD-rom drive jumpers to "slave" setting. When I boot
    the ATA drive doesn't show up. When I boot off the OS X install disk
    it doesn't show up on the desktop either. BUT when I use drive set up
    I can see and initialize the disk. It then shows up but the OS X
    install disk will not see it and tries to install onto the CD itself
    which of course causes the install to error and demand restart. Which
    brings me right back to square one. Anyone have an idea as to what is
    causing this? MVK
