Hello.

For some reason, the 10.3 install CD won't see the internal HD of a 2000 slot-loading iMac. I installed 10.2 just fine, as it did see the HD. But even after installing 10.2 (it had come with OS 9.2.2 on it) it wouldn't see the HD.

But 10.2 saw it just fine.

The Firmware is up to date. It's 350Mhz, 256MB RAM, and 7GB HD.

After I installed 10.2, I thought maybe somehow that would do it. So I put in the 10.3 disc and restarted with the C key down. And what happens? Open Firmware comes on the screen. That happened two times in a row, but then I managed to start up from the 10.3 disc, but it still wouldn't see the HD.

Any ideas?
