Power Mac G5 does not recognize hard drive...
My Power Mac G5 from 2006 does not want to recognize a second hard drive I added.

Strangely enough, it recognizes a 400Gb Phillips external drive via USB immediately.

I've tested the cable, it works, and have tried Seagate and Samsung hardrives, between 300 GB and 1000GB. None get recognized when I check in Utility > Disk Utility.

I'd appreciate any help in this matter...

thanks,
Riggie
