Yes, this doesn't really relate to marathon (other than the fact I can't PLAY marathon because of this...):

My Powermac 6500/250 shows up when I startup with the "?" inside a disk icon.
Not being able to boot up from a external drive, or CD rom/nor Disk drive, I thought it was a PRAM issue. (Zapping Pram, and also I've replaced the PRAM battery on the motherboard.)

Well, its still dead. THEN, in my infinite wisdom I decided to see if I could swap the IDE HD from the dead 6500/250 with the 6500/275 I got via mail LAST NIGHT.

Bad mistake... now, After putting the '250's HD in the newer '275, and getting the same "?" disk response, I put the origional '275 drive back IN the 6500/275.


Now BOTH computers are showing up when I boot them up the "?" inside a disk icon.M


Aaaaaaaa!

Help me! PLease, anyone with mac technical experince, give some suggustions I can do to even save some information from the 6500/250's HD if there is any.

Also see my post on apples discussion forum:

I'm losing valuable marathon time, and im being forced to accept submission for the Marathon Fan Fiction archive using my powermac 8100/80. :\
