![]() There exists within that Apple Installation disc a tool called Disc Utility which will allow you to format both drives simultaneously preparing one for OS X and the other for YDL. ![]() However what you need to do that is the original Apple installation CD or DVD which came with the G5. You could set both drives as masters if your plan is to have one of them exclusively dedicated to OS X, and the other dedicated to YDL. This is a matter of the hardware determining how the software will behave. Of course, the G5 (or any Mac) will recognize which is which but only the manufacturer's settings will tell the Mac what the drive is - a master or slave. ![]() By the way, make sure that you have the original resistors which fit across the pins for each manufacturer's drive, they will be the only way to set which pins will be inactive (with the resistors on) and which will be active (the resistors off) it is this sequence of off/on which will allow that drive to implement the manufacturer's design as to whether that drive is a master or slave. I've always deciphered the pinning arrangements from the diagrams on the drives themselves. You could find information regarding these details from the manufacturer of those drives from the manufacturer's website but I'm not sure that would be useful if the drives are very old. Also the manufacturer of the drive may have created a different recommended setting for a later or earlier drive they may have made. Unfortunately, each manufacturer has different pin settings for their own drives and you will have to read carefully whatever notes exist on each drive to determine that. On some drives you can set this up by setting the jumper pins according to different positions such as set 1 or 2, etc. WDC Harddrive 500 GB Empty no partitions set (S-ATA)įirst the drive which is going to be the boot drive needs to be set as the master. Here a video I have filmed with the story I've looked and looked and looked for a solution but didn't find anything.
