the drive is HFS+ (MacOS Extended), oddly enough, the installer shoots me down before even allowing me to select one of the 5 disks i have on which to install....<br><br>
I don't recall anything about a needed firmware update for that machine, but I could be wrong. That's about the only other thing I can think of. I was going to ask about available disk space, but you say it won't get that far, which makes me think of firmware. If I can think of anything else....<br><br>

odd, sounds like a firmware patch might be able to trick the installer, but honestly, I'd have no idea where to begin on that front<br><br>Statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.<br>-- Aaron Levenstein
