Well, the desktop is back up and running for the moment. The new system disk is courtesy of Seagate--a 500Gb SATA Barracuda that is currently sitting in the top slot. Installation was a piece-of-cake but getting the previous backup on to it took a few iterations.
One only sort-of mystery though. At first I thought of just snagging a Western Digital drive off the shelves at a local Circuit City, no more CompUSA :( , but the website seemed pretty explicit that these drives were PC only and that Mac OS X didn't have the drivers. Really?
As far as *internal* drives go, WDs were the *only* ones Circuit City had on the shelves here. OK...I'll *try* "Best Buy." sigh...
Well...as it turns out, the drive that had been my system disk since I bought the machine *was* a Western Digital ANYway! Eh? Whatever...I guess it's a bookend now.
